Japantoday.com reported about John Woo’s “Red Cliff”, “The film is based on a famous battle in divided third-century China that saw 2,000 ships burned, and draws from a period in Chinese history that has spawned comic books and video games.”
“I will pay off my debts if the film is successful,” said Woo in Tokyo this week. He said he had invested a lot of his own money in the project due to budget issues. “That left me with enough for about two meals a day,” he joked. “Seriously, though, I think I’ve got something more valuable than money out of this production.”
