The fervor over the war epic "Red Cliff" is building to a crescendo
with director John Woo set to present a sequel to the most bankable
Chinese film in history. Woo on Sunday led cast members of "Red Cliff II" at its premiere in Beijing. The sequel will open in theaters on Wednesday, roughly five months
after the previous film bagged over 300 million yuan (US$43.97 million)
to set a new record for Chinese-language films.
