Synopsis: Chronicles the Han Dynasty era of China.

Comment: Based on the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Chow Yun Fat dropped out if a lead role three days into shooting, putting the most expensive film ever made in China in a state of uncertainty. Apparnetly bond company, CineFinance, would not approve his agreement.

Two weeks prior to prduction Tony Leung Chiu-wai quit, suggesting that he could not make a commitment for the whole of the massive six month-long lensing. He came back on after Yun-Fat left. AND THEN... Chow Yun Fat (wait for it)... CAME BACK ON! See History for timeline.
