Few films can claim a bumpier, more public production ride or worse crash landing than “Air Strike,” purportedly the most costly Chinese feature ever when it was shot — which was three years ago. Since then, it’s undergone several title changes, delays, and most cripplingly become part of a wide-ranging tax evasion scandal in which actress Fan Bingbing was convicted for financial fraud. As a result, the film’s Chinese release was canceled outright. In the U.S., Lionsgate scaled its primary distribution plans back to on demand, with subsidiary Grindstone handling a much-reduced theatrical launch. Oh, and a movie shot in 3D now appears to be showing nowhere in that format.
Of course, most viewers roped in by the promise of Bruce Willis in a WW2 combat movie (with Mel Gibson conspicuously listed as production “consultant”) will be oblivious to all that offscreen drama. What’s onscreen, however, is...

Yesterday, a new trailer was released for Paramount’s upcoming Asian remake of Ghost. I’m pretty sure most people are fairly familiar with the original 1990 Hollywood version starring Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore, so it makes more sense to go over the differences—most of which are made glaringly obvious in the new footage.
First and foremost, genders are reversed as Nanako Matsushima is actually playing the business executive/ghost Nanami in this version. South Korean actor Seung-heon Song portrays her grieving widower, a ceramic artist named Joon-ho. In lieu of Whoopi Goldberg’s sassy scam artist turned legit medium, Oda Mae Brown, we have veteran actress Kirin Kiki—sassy factor still indeterminate. And finally, instead of receiving her poltergeist lessons from a wild-eyed subway ghost of dubious mental stability, Nanami is instead tutored by a cute little girl at the hospital.

Early last week, a teaser was released for Paramount’s upcoming Asian remake of Ghost. The new footage clarifies an important fact about the remake that has largely slipped under the radar since the project was first announced back in May—that Nanako Matsushima will actually be playing the ghost role originally played by the late Patrick Swayze and Korean actor Seung-heon Song‘s character will be more in line with the Demi Moore part. Also, a recently released production still shows veteran actress Kirin Kiki taking over the psychic medium character originally portrayed by Whoopi Goldberg.
Plot: One day, a company manager named Nanami (Matsushima) meets and falls in love with Joon-ho (Song), who’s staying in Japan to study ceramic art. However, when the two begin their life together, Nanami is involved in a tragic incident and loses her life. Refusing to allow her soul to go to heaven,...

- Remember what we all thought when Heath Ledger was cast as The Joker? I'm feeling the same skepticism regarding the rumor (officially denied, of course) that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is in talks to play the villain in the next Batman movie. Hollywood Life hears the actor "is definitely on the short list" for the role of The Riddler, which would reunite him with his Inception director, Christopher Nolan. And maybe for consistency, future installments of the series can give us Julia Stiles as Catwoman, David Krumholtz as The Penguin, Larry Miller as Ventriloquist, Gabrielle Union as Harley Quinn and Allison Janney as Lady Shiva. In other Batman 3 rumors, Nolan will allegedly begin shooting the thing in March.

Nanako Matsushima (36) and Seung-heon Song (33) are set to star in an Asian remake of Jerry Zucker’s smash hit 1990 film Ghost, taking over the roles originally played by Demi Moore and the late Patrick Swayze. In the Hollywood version, Swayze played a man who was killed during an attempted mugging and remained on earth as a ghost to warn his girlfriend (Moore) of an impending danger. The Asian version will be set in Japan.
Probably best known outside of Japan for starring in the 1998 horror film “Ring”, former full-time fashion model Matsushima truly made a name for herself domestically in 2002 by playing Matsu in the enormously popular Ntv drama “Toshiie and Matsu”. In 2007, she proved herself to be a capable lead film actress with a poignant performance in Isshin Inudo’s “Bizan”.
