This one's been floating around in production for a while now, AICN reported it one or two years ago. I'm really looking forward to Tony Leung portraying Zhuge Liang. Though to be more accurate, this'd be more of a Three Kingdoms movie and not a DW movie, so no musou attacks. ;)

Saw this quite a while ago, but haven't been updated on it in AAAAAAAAGES so thanks for that. I think Ken Watanabe would be a really good Cao Cao. BWAH.

Ahhhhhh! So many hopeful-yet-impossible cast members spring to mind! I hope it turns out good and/or hope it gets a good translation if it ever makes it out here.
