Jackie Chan, Mike Tyson and Fan Bingbing walked the red carpet Saturday night as a somewhat subdued Shanghai International Film Festival got underway in China’s bustling commercial capital.

Concerns about the outbreak of MERS in South Korea and the removal of a Japanese film at the behest of Chinese government censors put a bit of a damper on the 18th annual event, which for years was the only substantial film festival in China until Beijing launched its own festival in 2011. Both events are under government control, but authorities seem to be pouring significant resources into raising the profile of the Beijing affair, which is held in April.

Festival organizers sent emails to some expected participants from South Korea, suggesting that they stay home; at the registration desk, South Korean attendees were asked to fill out a health history form.

In the lobby of Shanghai Movie City, a movie complex that is one of the central film venues, large printed screening schedules still carried the title “Attack on Titan,” but ticket sellers said the animated Japanese film had indeed been pulled from the lineup and replaced with another Japanese movie. The film was among 38 foreign animated properties deemed excessively violent or pornographic earlier this week by China’s Ministry of Culture.

Unlike last year, when “Transformers: Age of Extinction” closed out the Shanghai festival, this year’s lineup includes no Hollywood blockbusters, though Antoine Fuqua’s long-in-the-works boxing drama “Southpaw,” starring Jake Gyllenhaal, is having its world premiere at the festival.

The film, which is competing for the Golden Goblet award, centers on a lefthanded junior-middleweight champ (Gyllenhaal) whose is sent into a spiral by a tragic accident. With the help of a washed-up former boxer (Forest Whitaker), he starts to fight his way back to personal and professional redemption.

The opening film was the somewhat saccharine "I Am Somebody," directed by Derek Tung-Sing Yee, about Chinese movie extras trying to make a go of it on the studio lots in Hengdian, a major movie film center not far from Shanghai.

The closing night film on June 21 will be the China-Russia co-production "Ballet in the Flames of War," directed by China's Yachun Dong and Russia's Nikita Mikhalkov. Organizers said the movie “highlights the friendship between China and Russia through a love story unfolding in the midst of World War II.”

This year marks the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II, known in China as the War to Resist Japanese Aggression, and the festival has programmed a special section of films devoted to this theme, including “Casablanca,” German director Volker Schlondorff’s “The Tin Drum” and Andre Singer’s Holocaust documentary “Night Will Fall.”

The Russian director Andrey Zvyagintsev, whose “Leviathan” was nominated for the foreign language Oscar this year, is heading up this year’s jury for the Golden Goblet award.

The festival offers cinema-goers the chance to see a number of American films that were never imported into theaters in China, which restricts the number of foreign films that can enter the market each year. Among some of the U.S. films screening are “Whiplash” and “Birdman.” Former boxer Mike Tyson is attending the festival not because he has an American film in the festival but because he has a guest part in the upcoming Chinese movie “Ip Man 3.” DreamWorks Animation chief Jeffrey Katzenberg also attended the event.

This year, the Shanghai fest will offer fans the chance to see all six films in the “Star Wars” series, a first for the mainland. “Jackie Chan Action Movie Week” is expected to draw a number of international filmmakers, including Renny Harlin and Brett Ratner for a series of forums and screenings that organizers said “will leverage the prestige of Jackie Chan in the world of action movies, highlight Chinese culture reflected in action movies, and pool together worldwide resources in support of the globalization of Chinese films and culture.”


PS: People should stop posting unconfirmed news. I saw a lot on post (I didn't bother reading any of them though) on Nairaland and a simple search turned up a lot of recent news about Jackie, he latest of which was this one posted a little over 4hra ago. We should be careful what we write/wish others; the fact that the news was purportedly broken on NBC does not make it true.

OP, and the source of this story is?
If you tell me is one of these story (not news) companies with integrity always quoting anonymous sources, sorry, I won't believe it.

Me! I miss the sweet time past. Oh! My bariga of old, how I'd give anything to have it all back. Sweet memories.

Abeg who get this house whey dem use sef. This is the same house they used for D'banj's Mr. Endowed remix ft Snoop Dogg and one other video Rick Ross and another Chris Brown (abi na Akon sef) did.

My son is always pronouncing Ebun as Apu. lol...

We still buy at between N110 and N115 in PHC, DPR go say dem no know? Later they will be calling on people to waste their airtime to call their office and at the end of the day, they will not do anything.

She did my sister's a couple of weeks ago and I am very very impressed.

I remember the day OBJ shutdown movement from Ikeja to Otta, I am sure he had not left ABJ before the NM took over Agege Motor Rd from the Airport Axis down to Otta, motorists were advised to take alternative routes. So, if traffic was shutdown just for PMB to pass and everything returns to normal, what are we then complaining about.
(Chai! With the way I am defending PMB, one would think I am a card carrying member of APC O! In fact, this has to stop forthwith!!!)

I hate hypocritics in my life. If Buhari is less than two weeks in office and PDP is vomitting this trash, they should come and explain what Jonathan's 6years in office was.
Bunch of nitwits.

I have done it a number of times and I don't feel it is bad. Shebi we are married, must there be a do and don't do days?
Abeg, if there is anybody that believes it is bad, back it up with religious quotes from either of the holy books.

Konga is the best, free shipping and pay on delivery to all 36 States. I was trying to order Innjoo fire from Jumia for 17,700 but when I proceed to check out the price change 20k, they have added more than 2k shipping cost and no pay on delivery to my city Jos, imagine a city as big as Jos and jumia could not offer POD?

I can relate with this. They said if I purchased anything from my phone app for the first time, I will get 2k off. I actually did and saw the 2k discount before i checked out only for Jumia to call to confirm the order and told me the amount i would pay will include the 2k i got as discount. I told them to buzz off and shove thier idiotic product up where the sun don't shine. Effing scammers.

I am not against anybody querying past governments. But in this instance, why does Nwike want to probe the past 18 months when he could have done the probe for the past 8 years? Is it because he will be indicted in some way as he was part of the Amaechi administration well into the 2nd tenor until Amaechi started having a fall out with the (then) first family?
He who comes to equity must come with clean hands jare. Na all of them be thief.

Is it me or is it just that there is nothing fascinating about your list. You have just stated obvious facts and nothing more.

These people are all bark and no bite.
They keep saying they will revoke this and that but will never give the public any contact details (email or phone number) to report these petrol station owners for selling above official price.
Do they want to tell us they have no idea of what fuel stations are doing? Why come to the media to shout when you will end up doing nothing?
Rubbish, until I see them shutting down fuel stations for good, all na wash.

What tipped it off?

She realizing that she was doing something wrong and admitting it to the world, while taking corrective steps and actually looking out for results.
Don't get it twisted, there "might" be some Nigerian women out there that will own up to wrong doing in such a way that she did but i have nevere met one (even le wify).

On another note, the guy sef is very patient; maybe if we (Nigerian men especially) have that kind of patience, we might (one day) end up seeing our ladies toe the same path as the lady that wrote the original piece.

Present state....

Took this from office

Chief OP, if I am not mistaking, you purported office is on Tiamiu Savage and the picture of Eko Atlantic, which is the sandy expanse across the street where bar beach used to be, is just blank. It has been 3 years since I left Las Gidi for PHC, abeg, can you just show us pictorial status of the structures being built within the project?

You are busy showing us the departure section, mbok, kindly upload pictures of the arrival section and give us an idea of how long its been since the renovation was started.

That is the most annoying comment 'all' CSA make that pisses me off. Why apologize for something you will still do again tomorrow?
Issshhh!!!!

Hi bro,am really interested,but I dont want to be too forward,the last time. I used an autoloader, I end up installing a developer version, so please, any info/issues I need to be aware of?

None whatsoever bro. It is perfectly safe. I have it on my BB Q10 and my wife's Q5. I will suggest that if you want to get an autoloader, get it via avaialble links on crackberry.com
Besides, if you are not too comfy about it, the official version is out for all OS10 devices. You can always download it yourself (but e go cost money sha and that depends on what version you are currently having on your device) If you take it to any computer village, it is still the same autoloader they will use for the upgrade.

I have always been an advocate of fairness in this country (no matter who is involved) but this his demand is outright madness. Since the BH scam did not work to destroy this country, they tried with election brouhaha (Orubebe things) and it still did not work, now they are trying to use oil derivative.
These people should just stop being lazy and go back to what they used to do in the 60 and 70's before the advent oil and leave this country be in peace. Haba!

I just saw this video about a Russian plane taking off and landing on water. Amazing

Good day all.
I got a BC concerning scholarship for Orphans and I decided to share it here on NL.
Just in case we know any Orphan or Orphanage, we can refer them to the program.
You never can tell who you can empower with this information.
May God help us all.
