A quick post about some earthquake and film related news: first off, Jia Zhangke, at the Cannes Film Festival where his new film 24 City was recently screened, lead a moment of silence for the earthquake victims and dedicated the film to the memory of the victims. The film is actually set in Chengdu, Sichuan.

    Jet Li is starring in the latest “Mummy” franchise with Michelle Yeoh, to be released this summer. Maybe you talked about it on this site.
