Ang Lee's newest movie, "Lust Caution" has so far been shrouded in mystery. Recently however, his assistant David Lee revealed that Tony Leung, Tang Wei, and Wang Leehom will be part of the film. Tony and Tang will play the leading male and female roles respectively. This movie marks Ang Lee's first new movie after his Oscar-winning "Brokeback Mountain"

Tang Wei is a newcomer from Mainland. She earned the position despite rumors that Zhang Ziyi, Liu Yifei, Shu-Qi and the likes were to take her role. She is a 27 and is already a rising star in mainland China, having starred on stage and television. She recently gave an award-winning performance in the telefilm Jinghua Swallow.



44-year old Tony Leung is a familiar household name, who won best actor at Cannes for ``In the Mood for Love'' in 2000. A native of Hong Kong, he has been one of Asia's top stars for nearly two decades. He has starred in several memorable films for directors Wong Kar-wai and John Woo, and in such smash hits as Hero and Infernal Affairs.



Wang Leehom, 30, is a Taiwan based singer, who is a renowned producer, composer, and songwriter. He won the Taiwanese Grammies for best producer in 1999 and 2004 along with Best Male artist in 1999 and 2006. He is a native New-Yorker and attended one of the best Liberal Arts Schools in the United States, the prestigious Williams College and earned a Masters Degree at top-notch "Julliard-Rival" Berkelee School of Music.

"Lust Caution" is adapted from a 26-page short story by the late Chinese author Eileen Chang. Wang Jiazhi (Tang Wei), a young woman who gets swept up in a dangerous game of emotional intrigue with Mr. Yi (Tony Leung). She seduces him into an assasination plan against the Japanese backed government of World War II. Things complicate as Kuang Yu Min (Wang Leehom), a young student who is romantically involved with Wang Jiazhi (Tang Wei) becomes entangled in matters.

Ang Lee's assistant David Lee said that filming is expected to start in September and will take place in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Malaysia, adding that isn't clear how long filming will take.

I am just wandering why she is still a newcomer although that she is already 27 years old already. Actually, I have newer heard of her before and hard to believe that she is a rising star whereby younger actress have already reach the status as a star like Zhang Zhi Yi. Maybe, it is just for the film promotion or I am really not up-to-date about the current entertainment development in China or there is really too many rising star in China.

hmm.. never heard of that new actress.. so does that mean zhang ziyi and the rest are definitely not in it?

i think the movie will be a chinese one, not american, because tony leung and tang wei, i dont think, they can speak english as well as leehom!
tang wei looks pretty. she has a cute face! ive never heard of her though!

yay!!! must be quite a good movie... i hope its more to an artistic movie rather than a typical love story.. should be interesting that way

wow what a great cast....ive seen leehom act before in china strike force...not that great...hope his acting should be better by now

OMG!! I'm totally excited about Leehom being in it!! I'm gonna watch it for sure. But wait.. since he gonna be book filming this movie, does that mean he won't be coming oversea to do concerts and stuff......

OMGGGGG this is awesome..... yea great cast. and AHHH LEEHOM IS IN IT! yeahhhh. this is goin to be exciting. so this film is like the oldies period rite? go ang, love his movies.... (no offense, cept hulk tho). can't wait till this comes out

yay! this is gonna be an awesome movie it has tony leung AND wang lee hom! haha awesome!

YES!!!! LEEHOM'S GONNA BE IN A MOVIE!!!! I AM SOOO GONNA WATCH IT LOL!!! =) That is a super super duper awesome cute kawaii pic of LEEHOM!!!!!! =DDD

Omg! These two hot guys in the same movie! This will be awesome, I hope it will be good

Pretty smart of the director, he chose actors from the 3 main chinese speaking population, china, taiwan and hong kong.. def will be a box office hit..

The story sound boring. LOL
Wang Leehom is it!! that makes the movie

kind of triangle romance..like always

The plot seems interesting too, you gotta admit world war II during the japanese invasion is an excellent backdrop. Cant wait!!

never seen the girl before.. but she has a very innocent, fresh face. hope it's good! i'm gonna watch it for tony and leehom. hehe

i've never heard of tang wei until now, but from the picture, she does look a little like liu yi fei, so why not choose ms liu instead?

absolutely love the 2 male actors. tony leung has taken a very long break. it's high time he showed his handsome face to his fans.

wow... i can't wait to see this movie... anything with Tony Leung in there I will watch...

wow powerful cast ... i hope there'll be a picture of this lady ... because ang lee chose her it means she has a quality to portray the character ... [after a long time ang lee auditioned so many actresses ...]

Yayy...Wang Lee Hom IS gonna be in it..and woot, Tony Leung It looks like those two will have good chemistry on-screen, from the looks of it. I really wanna see this movie now!

Woo Tony Leung as leading male, he act so good he really deserve to be in Ang Lee movies !

YAY! LEEHOM'S IN THE MOVIE! I KNEW IT!

Wow... I seriously never heard of her before... *googles her* I hope Ang Lee's decision is a wise one... I'm not saying that either is bad, but I really don't want to see another bad movie, lol. ><

tony leung in another new movie, must watch this!? hmm.. not sure about leehom hope he does well in his debut. im not sure about ang lee's movies, the only one i watched was CTHD and i did'nt like it much, soo glad zhang xiyi not in this movie! i rather ang lee give a chance to another actress? wonder will this be a world wide release?

yay leehom in a movie finally! i hope i willg et to watch it.... but i really really wish that the storyline of this movie is actually good, well, the movies that leehom acted in before, didnt really have a great storyline...but just watching leehoma nd his gorgeous face is worth it

Wow Im glad that at least Tony Leung is in this movie...I wish he would get some recognition for his times!

at the end, ang lee prefered to take a new face than actresses well known internationaly. it's good that he promotes new people to the overseas =)

It seems like all the top Chinese directors only want Tony Leung as their male actors... Ang Lee... Zhang Yi Mou... Wong Ka Wai....

Damn... why not give Andy Lau a chance people? (although Zhang Yi Mou did)

no offense.. the last time i saw lee hom in strike force and avenging fist... well... i was disappointed... hopefully this one will be good since tony leung will be in it....!

so whos da main actress? i dunno wat she looks lyk, can ne1 pleaz post up pic? thanx.

im happy that Leehom is in this movie =) and Tony Leung is a great actor..i love the cast already. I like the idea of having a fresh and unfamiliar face to play main female character. Hopefully, she will be a good actress.
