Entertainment Now | June 10 - 16, 2023 By Adam Thomlison TV Media Q: Is Chow Yun-Fat still work- ing? I feel like I haven't seen him in a while. A: Action great Chow Yun-Fat ("The Replacement Killers," 1998; "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," 2000) is still working, but not over here anymore. In fact, his career is a handy illustration of what's hap- pening in the global box office. China has long had a strong film industry but the production bud- gets were relatively small. The real money was always in Hollywood. So big Chinese actors such as Chow became superstars in their native land but would have to come to Hollywood to do big-bud- get, big-paycheck movies, even if it meant taking smaller roles. But starting in the 2010s, Chi- na's domestic film market thrived, and the productions got bigger. And it seems that Chow more or less jumped at the opportunity to return home. All this is to say that he's as busy as ever, working on lavish, multi- million-dollar movies, but the scripts are in Mandarin now in- stead of English. Sadly for us, that means his work is a little harder to find in North America. The chances of be- ing able to see him on the big screen are a lot slimmer, and his films aren't always easy to find on TV or streaming, either. A case in point for all this is "Project Gutenberg" (2018), the third-biggest film in Chow's career in terms of box office revenue. It grossed more than $188 million, but not a cent of that came from North America — it wasn't even distributed in theatres here. But it's not all as divided as this makes it sound. You can still find "Project Gutenberg" (and his oth- er films) to stream if you look. Q: Are they ever going to do a sequel to "The Nice Guys"? It seemed like they were going that way. A: Because it was written and directed by Shane Black, the guy who gave us the long-running Le- thal Weapon franchise, there was always hope that "The Nice Guys" (2016) was the start of another se- ries. Sadly, seven years later, it now seems unlikely. However, depending on how you look at it, "The Nice Guys" could be a spiritual sequel to an- other, even bigger movie. "The Nice Guys" was a film-noir detective story starring Russell Crowe ("Gladiator," 2000) as a brutish tough guy with a hang-up about protecting women and a 4 | Saturday morning 06/10 7 AM 7:30 8 AM 8:30 9 AM 9:30 10 AM 10:30 11 AM 11:30 12 PM 12:30 S1 S2 WTTV 4 CBS Saturday Morning (N) Lucky Dog Innovation Nation Mission Hope in the Wild Lucky Dog Did I Mention Paid Programming Talk (N) 4 4 WRTV 6 WRTV Week In Review (N) Good Morning America (N) Good Morning America (N) Retirement Hearts of Heroes Free Enterprise Retirement Vets Saving Pets Hearts of Heroes 6 6 @ WPTA WPTA Saturday Morning News II (N) Good Morning America (N) Good Morning America (N) Wildlife Nation oh baby!
