Leung returns to Woo's 'Battle'

April 20, 2007 Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, who left director John Woo's "The Battle of Red Cliff" last month, will rejoin the $70 million production following co-star Chow Yun-Fat's sudden departure earlier this week, producer Terence Chang said Thursday. Leung's one of the best actors working in Chinese cinema today. I'm so glad that he's coming back to the production, said Chang, whose Lion Rock is co-producing with Chinese state-run China Film Group Corp. and Beijing-based Chengtian Entertainment along with CMC of Taiwan, Showbox of South Korea and Avex of Japan.
