Wong Liu-tsong

Known professionally as Anna May Wong, Wong Lui-tsong (1905-1961) was the first Chinese-American Hollywood star. An international fashion and film star, her work as an icon perseveres.

Wong was born in Los Angeles to second-generation Chinese-American immigrants. She was immediately interested in films, and would often miss school to watch them. From age 9, she would beg filmmakers to give her roles.

At 14, she began working as an extra and dropped out of highschool in 1921 to pursue a full-time acting career. Her first starring role in The Toll of the Sea (1922) was met with widespread critical praise. However, the racism of the time often relegated her to supporting, stereotyping roles even when she was a household name. This was largely due to anti-miscegenation laws, which meant she could not be cast opposite non-Asian men.

Wong's film career continued to grow. Her career spanned silent and sound films, America and Europe, stage, and television. She continued acting until her death, finishing with her TV show The Gallery of Madame Liu-Tsong, the first U.S. TV show with an Asian American lead, ever.

Now, we may look back on her career and be taken aback by her stereotypically demure "Butterfly" roles and her stereotypically sexual "Dragon Lady" roles, as well as her willingness to play the roles of (caricaturistic) Native American and Inuit characters. However, her dedication to playing and creating roles for Chinese actors was absolutely unheard of in her own time.

Wong will appear on the reverse of the quarter (USA currency). She will be the first Asian American to appear on US currency.

Look if they ever start doing Dresden Movies I want the trailer to Skin Games to rip off all these gaudy, over the top, Mission Impossible Hollywodd heist films. Like put George Clooney, Kevin Spacey, Morgan Freeman and for no reason Chris Tucker does all these awesome heist film things. Then near the end just have the camera slowly pan back as a cop car passes by and then lead into a bird's eye of the standoff between Police vs Binder while Dresden and rest are running through Marcone's place.

Imagine the lift scene instead where they’re going down in the lift and have a voice of “So you want me to work with a 2000 year old maniac” while showing scenes of the fight outside Michae’ls house focusing on Nicodemus, “and his twisted daughter/lover” showing Deirdre turning in to her monster form “and whatever freak shows he’s signed on” showing the creature beating the shit out of Harry when he first meets it “to break in to a vault” showing blowing a door off its hinges “owned by the Barron of Chicago” Marcone sitting at his desk. “So we can rip a hole in to the underworld” show a view of the underworld “And steal from a literal God.” Hades sitting in his chair by the fire. Switch back to the lift “And you want me to survive?!”

Mab, facing forward, shot from behind. “I expect you to do more than survive, my knight.” she turns and looks at him, giving him a cold and beautiful smile. The lift pings, the doors open. “I expect you to skin them alive.” she walks out.

Cut to title card. Coming soon.

Then flip back to Harry standing dumb faced in the lift. The doors start closing and he has to jump out between the doors and almost gets his coat stuck. He disapeaers off shot as the doors close, and something moves just inside one of the shadows off screen.

Sam Raimi, en conversaciones para dirigir una película sobre el Triángulo de las Bermudas. Oz: Un mundo de fantasía es la última película dirigida por Sam Raimi y, desde entonces, no hemos vuelto a ver nada dirigido por él en la gran pantalla, pero ahora el cineasta parece interesado en dirigir una película sobre el Triángulo de las Bermudas. Según ha informado The Hollywodd Reporter, el director está en conversaciones para dirigir este 'thriller' de misterio y aventura con la productora Skydance, compañía que ha realizado los filmes de Misión Imposible y Star Trek, entre otros. Ésta es solo una de las tres películas sobre el Triángulo de las Bermudas que están en desarrollo en estos momentos. Skydance quiere que los guionistas de Baywatch: Los guardianes de la bahia, Damian Shannon y Mark Swift, escriban el guion de la cinta y quieren que Johnny Depp sea el protagonista. Aún no se ha confirmado que éste sea el próximo proyecto de Raimi. Lo último que hemos podido ver del director ha sido el primer episodio de la serie de Starz, Ash vs. Evil Dead. Además, está comprometido con algunos proyectos que aún no se han hecho realidad. FUTUROS PROYECTOS DE RAIMI Raimi está involucrado en World War 3, drama apocalíptico de Warner Bros. y el año pasado estuvo a punto de dirigir el 'thriller' Stormfall, pero el proyecto no salió adelante. Disney también quería una secuela de Oz: Un mundo de fantasía tras el éxito conseguido, pero tampoco se ha hecho realidad.
