Behind-the-Scenes Featurette and International Posters for Shanghai
Cool new posters and nearly 8-minute-long featurette for John Cusack's latest movie!
Director Mikael Håfström 's (1408) new movie, Shanghai, doesn't have a U.S. release date yet, but this thrilling mystery set in Shanghai during WWII has already premiered in China. To promote the movie in China, a selection of theatrical and character teaser posters have been released, and now there's a new behind-the-scenes featurette with Håfström and several cast members discussing the making of the movie.
Here's the official synopsis of the movie:
Nothing is what it seems in this Casablanca-style international thriller set in the ancient Chinese city a week before the attack on Pearl Harbor. U.S. Secret Agent Paul Soames (John Cusack) has just arrived to investigate the murder of his best friend, only to become quickly immersed in a web of conspiracy and lies that beset the city. Shadowed by a Japanese intelligence officer Tanaka (Ken Watanabe), Soames' investigation quickly centers on a charismatic local gangster, Anthony Lanting (Chow Yun-Fat—and Lanting's beautiful wife, Anna (Gong Li). Before long, Soames and Anna are involved in an affair that will put everything they have at stake. As national loyalties are traded fast-and-loose for those of the heart, Soames and Anna must race to solve the mystery and make it out of occupied China before the city's collapse.
Franka Potente, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and David Morse also star.
