Movies - Quentin Tarantino Remaking "Come Drink With Me"

Via WorstPreviews:
"Setting their sights on Asia, Bob and Harvey Weinstein are setting up a $285 million fund to invest in movies with Asian themes and elements.

The fund will be used to finance the production, acquisition and marketing of about 31 Asian films to be distributed by the Weinstein Co. over six years. The offering summary said the target is 21 theatrically released films and 10 direct-to-video titles.

Titles that the fund is expected to handle include Wong Kar Wai's "My Blueberry Nights," the opening-night film at the Festival de Cannes, and a remake of the Hong Kong martial arts movie "Come Drink With Me," directed by Quentin Tarantino."

Via FilmWad:
"The original "Come Drink With Me" is a 1966 Hong Kong martial arts picture that's set in the Ming Dynasty that starred Cheng Pei-Pei and Yuen Hua. The film is considered one of the best martial arts films ever made. If this is true that Tarantino is remaking the film, there will be a lot of complainers (hell, there are still people bitching about how "Reservoir Dogs" ripped off John Woo flicks). But remember how badass the kung fu sequences were from Kill Bill? This could kick major ass."
