    Zhang Ziyi will be putting away her swords and flexing her funny bone in her next picture, "Lost for Words." "It's a romantic comedy with Hugh Grant. We're shooting in London," she said Sunday night at Louis Vuitton's dinner for the dressy Emprise watch designed by Marc Jacobs. But the role won't be much of a stretch: "I play a Chinese movie star," Ziyi said with a laugh.

    Not good, hugh grant is waaaaaay past his sell by date and no offense to any1 who thinks otherwise, but she really isnt that good of an actress. But for some reason, the westerns seem to like her?!

    Maybe she was willing to take off a few layers and show some skin?

    well, she has been dating an old white dude ...

    oh rele never knew that, so her english has prob improved. still don't think shes that a great actress and can't rele imagine her in romantic films like this. these films require some comedy in them too and can't rele see her making me laugh whereas i can with hugh grant. i swear all hugh grant does is just make these type of movies.

    never sed she couldn't its just don't see her in this role thats all, though if it is successful it could perhaps allow more chinese actors/actresses to be able to get into films that are not to do with fighting for once and to give chinese ppl the a greater opportunity to become an actor/actress.
     
  15. i think i'll d/l this movie... i was happy with ZZY's performance in Memoirs of a Geisha

    Zhang Ziyi has grown exceptionally arrogant ever since she was recognized in the movie "Crouching Tiger & Hidden Dragon". She completely brushed off those "Asian" entertainers off as if they're no longer on par with her now that she has hit the global market. I can't wait to see her fail. People like that deserve to fall flat face down on the ground.
