Jeffrey Lau Parodies Red Cliff with Light-Transcending Pandora's Box

-- Light-Transcending Pandora's Box --

Jeffrey Lau has quietly began production on his newest comedy 《越光宝盒》Light-Transcending Pandora's Box (tentative) in Guangzhou for a week. It's a twist, a parody on Six Dynasties, set against the backdrop of Red Cliff battle, as he told John Woo apologetically when they met at Shanghai Film Festival.

Someone with this Pandora's Box  enters the Three Kingdoms era from another time zone, bringing along with him a bunch of people/demons/deities from Chinese Odyssey, Landlord and Landlady from Kungfu Hustle, and some people/beings from CJ7.

There are around 60 cameo roles in Light-Transcending Pandora's Box and the cast includes Ronald Cheng, Sun Li, Athena Chu, Gigi Leung, Ada Choi, Yuen Wah, Alex Fong Lik Sun, Fan Siu Wong, Eric Tsang, Guo Tao, Huang Bo, Betty Huang Yi, Charlene Choi, Ken Wong, Sandra Ng, Lee Kin Yan, Marco Ngai, Wang Xue Bing, etc...

The martial arts choreographer could possibly be Yuen Wo Ping or his brother.

Jeffrey Lau also and he has made a 135-minute director's cut of Chinese Odyssey that include 8 scenes weren't in theatrical release. However, he doesn't hold the rights, and hopes that the audience would get to see this version eventually when the issue is resolved.  Sina
