    Daniel Wu (吴彦祖) and two-time Oscar winner, Kevin Spacey’s new movie, Inseparable <形影不离>, is going to be released in China on Friday, May 4th. Dealing with incredible pressure in his marriage with Gong Beibi (龚蓓苾) and at his engineering job, Daniel Wu, entered his darkest hour and was prepared to end his life. Saved by Kevin Spacey, Daniel forged a friendship with the American expatriate. The duo then begin policing the streets as unlikely vigilantes.

    Full of black humor and references to the superhero film genre, Inseparable deconstructed the increasingly stressful lives of professionals in China’s rising cities. In the film, Kevin Spacey’s character symbolized the last straw of hope in Daniel Wu’s life, appearing in his hour of greatest need. Will Kevin be capable of helping Daniel collect the remaining shards of his worn out life or is he going to spiral towards an emotional and mental breakdown?

    Inseparable-Daniel-Wu-Kevin-Spacey.jpg Inseparable was produced, directed, and written by Dayyan Eng (伍仕贤). Dayyan Eng was born in Taiwan, went to school in the United States, and presently doing work in mainland China. Inseparable marked the very first time an American actor of Kevin Spacey’s profile appeared in a entirely Chinese-financed movie. At earlier screenings, Inseparable received favorable praise from critics for its ingenious story and dark humor.

    Kevin Spacey was brimming with praises towards Inseparable costar, Daniel Wu. Kevin said, “He is very serious about his work. He is also a great dart player! I also like to support fresh actors; what reason is there not to like him? I feel that good directors in western countries will quickly recognize that Daniel Wu is one of the most outstanding actors of his generation! Western directors will likely offer very good roles to Daniel Wu, that has long been well-known in Asia. It is not devoid of reason that he is a big star!” Conveying the interest to film in China again, Kevin Spacey was full of faith towards the growing Chinese film market.

    As the world’s second largest box office, China provided numerous untapped opportunities for Hollywood directors and actors. Recent films showcasing the collaboration of Chinese and American talent include casting of Christian Bale in director Zhang Yimou’s (張藝謀) The Flowers of War <金陵十三钗> about the Rape of Nanjing, along with Adrien Brody and Tim Robbins in director Feng Xiaogang’s (冯小刚) 1942 <一九四二>, a movie concerning the widespread Chinese faminine that took place 1942.

    Now this looks fresh and promising. Although it kind of looks like Kick Ass, what language will this be in?
