Chen Kaige Coming to Tribeca; Weinsteins Go Into Hiding
Good news for long-suffering fans of Chen Kaige: Not only is the Chinese director's eagerly awaited film The Promise slated for its New York premiere at Tribeca, but The Reeler hears that Kaige himself is headed to town for a festival Q&A May 1.
This can only end in tears for The Weinstein Company, which famously traded intercontinental blows with Kaige a few months ago before unceremoniously dumping his movie like a bad lunch on Canal Street. Expect Chen and his entourage of 1,000 berobed, sword-slinging "publicists" to make an appearance at Weinstein HQ for one final comeuppance. Regrettably, however, tickets for Bloodmatch: Chen v. Harvey will be sold separately, so shop early.
