Heralding Hark's latest: Seven Swords preems

Malaysia's New Straits Times talks to Tsui Hark about his latest venture into period martial arts: "As director, Tsui said that by the time he finished [post-production], he would have seen the movie more than 1,000 times and knew every single frame, every blink of an actor's eye and exactly what came next. But when it comes to watching the... premiere, it is still a fresh experience for him... "You need to distance yourself from it all before the movie actually airs... Because the more you look at it, the more you would want to remake it! However, no matter how many times you make changes, there will still be room for more. I try to keep things in moderation because if you change too much, then the end result would not be what you originally intended it to be. I stay away after wrapping up filming and do something completely different, like watch other movies or write a new script, just to cleanse my memory." Next? A comedy.
