According to Sina.com.cn, Miss Li Bingbing was interviewed regarding a few topics related to casting and her new film, Detective Dee. In respect to the most recent rumors and speculations regarding the casting of the new film, “Fugative,” Miss Li is apparently still awaiting news regarding the casting. So at this time things may still be in the works regarding the casting of that film. Her most recently to-be-released film, “Detective Dee” is apparently the only Chinese film to be nominated at the 67th Venice Film Festival. According to the article, Miss Li expressed that she was very surprised and pleased by the news. When pressed further as to the prospects of Miss Li winning a Best Actress award, she proved to be very modest (and tactful) in her response: she mentioned she would be “very happy”, but also that if she did win she would be happy that the award would help promote Chinese films around the world.

April 30th, 2010
According to sina.com.cn, new movie, Triple Tap (2010) starring Miss Li Bingbing, Daniel Woo, Louis Koo and Charlene Choi, is now being publicized with the following posters. According to Internet Movie Database (IMDb), the story deals with a cop and a competitive marksman. The following is a movie description submitted to the site:
Champion competitive marksman Ken comes across an armored van robbery. He sees a policeman held hostage and shoots and kills four of the robbers. One of the robbers escapes and the policeman survives. The case is handled by Jerry Chang, whom Ken knows from having recently beaten him in a shooting match. Ken is found not guilty in court. Soon after, Ken is attacked by the escaped robber Pang Tao. Their confrontation reveals a very different background story and brings about a myriad of lies and traps and changes in relationships as Jerry and Ken try to outsmart each other.
This sounds like a winner of a concept. It should be interesting to see how it does when it is released later this year. More images in the gallery.
