If you haven't heard about Christina Ricci, Samuel L. Jackson and Justin Timberlake's Southern Gothic exploitation movie, .

Once the beauty and longing of Hong Kong director Wong Kar Wai's films get their hooks into you, it's difficult to break free. And really, who would want to? Gothamist knows we're a willing captive to his emotionally distant characters, sumptuous settings and deliberate pacing.

It's all rumor, in Gothamist's book, but Screen Daily claims there are Asian films going into production based on the SARS episdemic. One, a "comedy drama, the film is divided into three stories: the first about Hong Kong’s medical workers; the second a love story about a boy and girl who meet when their building is quarantined and the third about a businessman who tries to deliberately catch SARS after the disease makes him go bankrupt." Another is a drama, possibly starring Gong Li as a nurse in a Chinese production. [Via Dark Horizons]
