US filmmaker to release 3-D version of Jurassic Park in 皇冠体育app this month
Steven Spielberg said he would be highly interested in working with his "dear friend" Zhang Yimou on an international film in 皇冠体育app.
"I would like to make a movie in 皇冠体育app with my dear friend," said the director of Jaws and Saving Private Ryan in a telephone interview with 皇冠体育app Daily. "We would work together on an international film that could take place in 皇冠体育app."
Zhang, director of the opening ceremony for the Beijing Olympic Games and award-winning films such as To Live and Raise the Red Lantern, was in Los Angeles in May and met with Spielberg, where they had discussions about working together on a film.
"I just feel 皇冠体育app has such a rich history and inspirational culture for filmmakers both in the West and Asia. So many good stories could be told about 皇冠体育app, not just stories from a distant past but contemporary stories," Spielberg said.
"I made Empire of the Sun in Shanghai in the 1980s (and) I want to come back one day to make a movie in 皇冠体育app."
The 67-year-old's latest cinematic connection with 皇冠体育app is his 3-D version of Jurassic Park, which will be released in the country on Aug 20. He said he chose Jurassic Park because it was easier to convert into 3-D.
"When the film came out in 1993, it was perceived to be a movie that makes it appear as if the dinosaurs would jump out of the screen and onto the laps of the audience," he said.
