The production company behind the 3-D wuxia film "The Guillotines" held a news conference to promote the upcoming film on Monday, August 20.
Executive producer Peter Chan and director Andrew Lau were accompanied by cast members Huang Xiaoming, Li Yuchun, Shawn Yue, Jing Boran and Pu Bajia at the event. The film is scheduled to open in cinemas on December 20.A one-minute trailer was released, which gave the audiences a glimpse of each of the leading actors, although the guillotines, the mysterious assassination weapons, were not shown.
Lau said that the film was originally shot in 2-D format in an effort to avoid the strict limitations of 3-D shooting. After the completion of the 2-D shooting, Chan and Lau chose Vision Globale, a Canadian special effects company, to transform the 2-D version into 3-D format. The cost is as high as 3.5 million Canadian dollars.
Set in the period of the Qing Emperor Qianlong, the film revolves around a secretive organization called The Guillotines which is composed of young martial-arts masters who carry out the government's orders to kill those who oppose it.
"The Guillotines" completed shooting last October and now is in post-production stages.

Translated by: aZnangel @ http://asianuniverse.net/forums/Myolie Wu invited the cast of Ghetto Justice II out for dinner and to enjoy the finale together. As Kevin Cheng is not in HK, he was absent; Christine Kuo and JJ Jia were also absent. When speaking of JJ and Christine's rumors, Myolie admitted she comforted JJ, but was afraid to overdo it. Myolie joked she can't even help herself. When speaking of herself, Myolie said she's fine, but once Bosco Wong was mentioned, she begged for mercy: "Please don't say his name again. If we keep talking about that issue, it will never end." It was rumored Bosco madly tried to patch things up with her, knelt on the floor begging for forgiveness and proposed to her with a 5 carat diamond ring. Bosco also lost 20 pounds because of the break up. When asked if there is a chance Myolie and Bosco may get back together? Myolie shook her head: "No, he won't do things like that. (If he really does, is there hope between you two?) No, I know him. He won't do that."
Last night the two hour finale aired, but the Ghetto Justice fans were still actively discussing. It was a happy ending, but some people had doubts on the Law Ba's murder case. In the series, Law Ba killed Dai Chiu Long (Evergreen Mak), but used "self-defense" as a reason, and the court eventually ruled him not guilty. Netizens actively discussed online, stating that there is no legal evidence that this could happen.
There were also ! a lot more other scenes that Netizens fussed about. It was said a pair of elders, near 70 years of age, had young school-aged children. It would be more appropriate if they were the grandparents instead. Also, Wong Si Fu (Myolie Wu) took in the blame for Law Ba, which was an obstruction of justice suit, but the story never explained it.
Netizens praised Myolie's valuable tears. In the two hour finale, Myolie cried 9 times and cried 9 different ways. She displayed expressions of pain, helplessness, guilt, panic, etc. Netizens said her performance was just perfect.
