So, I flipped back 20 pages and couldn't find a topic on this yet, so here it goes.

One of the most anticipated movies this year in Hong Kong has finally released its trailer. This movie is an adaptation of the famous opera/play "The Butterfly Lovers" which is a tragic love story between two couples. Over the years, there has been movie adaptations of this famous opera/play: a movie starring Nicky Wu, and a drama series in Mainland China. This 2008 adaptation will star two famous pop idols in China: Wu Chun and Charlene Choi. Not to mention, this film is directed by Jingle Ma Choh Sing.

Wu Chun
Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin
Hu Ge

Synopsis:
Life is fleeting as the butterfly, beautiful yet transient. As legends has it, a pair of butterfly lovers reappears once more after having gone through three lifetimes of repeated pain and tears.

This time, they find each other in the world of martial arts. Liang is highly skilled in martial arts and resides in the mountains. When his master tasks him to take care of Zhu, a girl from a wealthy family who disguises as guy to herself from revenge, it sparks off the painful journey that they must go through once again.

Zhu's father, in order to pay the kindness shown to him, has betrothed her to a General Ma, although Zhu is in love with Liang. Love can fester into hate in some while in the selected few, it can lead to undying love that survives one lifetime after another.

I can't wait to see it and I hope it's as good as the one back in 1993.

I've watched soo many versions of this story haha
but in this version, Liang is highly skilled in martial arts? In the version I watched, he was a bookworm lol and they met at a school or something

yea that's the 1993 version starring Nicky Wu. I personally liked that version, but I'm also looking forward to this one too.

I love the idea of a collab. A hong kong star (Charlene Choi), A Taiwan star (Wu Zun) and a mainland China star (Hu Ge). All are beautiful creatures!

I really don't get why Liang played by Wu Zun became a martial arts expert in this movie.
Because he is I quote Jamie™ "He is a bookworm" that's why when Liang fought with HU Ge's character
Liang was easily beaten. Oh well

I'm still interested because of Wu Zun..lol..

he's RIPPED mehn.... lol

and besides..THANK GOD the main girl for this movie looked better than
that of the girl from HANA KIMI..hehe...

yayy, i can't wait to see this movie!! I really like charlene.

gosh.
i can't wait for this movie no more.
i really want to see it.
i hope it come out faster.

i'm really looking foward to see this movie....
wish wu zu and hu ge could have switch chracter...

WHY SO SERIOUS?!?!?!

I fixed it now, so LET'S PUT A SMILE ON THAT FACE.

Well it's well known that Chun is not really good for his acting.

But I do hope to see some breakthrough for him here. (Which I think he would just by watching the trailers and he did loads of stunts himself without using the stuntman).

wow i cant wait !!

looking forward to see this !^^

yep, that's still my favorite version....have anyone seen the animation version, it's so cute and sad too.

Will it be in Cantonese or Mandarin ?

I'm guessing mandarin because all three leads know Mandarin but only Charlene knows Cantonese. But they'll most likely dub Wu and Hu.




Because I had to read that nonsense twice, and Zhang Yimou is better than this. Edited my post though.

They make such a cute couple^_^. So, this is the movie? Cause I watch the drama and I got it all confuse^^. Cannot wait to see it^___^....Charlene is adorable and so is Wu Chun^^.

wow, aren't there like so many versions of this show?
i like the only with peter ho in it.
but can't wait to watch this one!!
i love all the actors

omg!
i love the cast in this one.
so is it in canto/mando? o-O

i saw the trailer few weeks back and it was in cantonese so maybe they dub the voice. i love the version starring Nicky Wu. will give this a try too, just because wu zhun is in it, i hope he improves on his acting skill.

Hmm Wu Zun in period clothings.. Not getting use to that look but will do eventually, I think.

definitely gonna watch !!

<3 WU CHUN

I wanna see this! Wu Zun and Hu Ge both look good XD

Where can I see the animated version...does it have eng subs???

anime version??? Butterfly Lovers has an anime version?? OMG i didn't know that!
anyhow..the only version I saw was that of ALAN LUO...now called SHOW or something
Taiwanese actor....

i still love "the lovers" better.. the one with nicky wu and charlie yeung

i know it's old but everytime i watch it i still ball.

i'm not a big fan of this storyline but i'll watch it for wuzun. i fairly liked the china drama version, i especially liked how the main actress, in the china version, portrayed her character. she's a very good actress because she made the character likable. she made the character not overtly arrogant or not-it-all.

wuzun and hu ge looks good.

Hi All,

Does anyone know where to download the mp3 for 心如蝶舞 music sang by Ah SA/Charlene? Have tried hunting through several websites but all shown online mv. No DL links for it.

Thanks for sharing.

Oh interesting!!
I'm looking forward to it.
I'm not a big fan of butterflies but it's WUCHUN! lol
I think Charlene and Chun will be a very cute couple.

wu zun and hu ge!! looks sooooo good!

omg, "the lovers" such a classic! & i agree!

it took me forever to find & order it on dvd.
i also have the animated one since i ordered it by mistake. lol
it's okay? i guess. hahahaha

haii..i really hope someone is kind enough to tell us where we can d/l the mp3.i really love the soundtrack.

Oh by the way, is there any website i can check the ranking of this movie?

Not a fan of Charlene, but I'd watch this for Chun and Hu Ge.

me second to that..still find that version better

have this movie came out yet? Love these couples

the same question - is there any chance to get this movie?

OMG I so wanna watch this! Wu Chun looks so cool!
