摘錄自作家勞倫斯卜洛克的newsletter： 「For almost two years now I've been meeting intermittently with Wong Kar-wai, the extraordinary Hong Kong filmmaker. We've explored a variety of projects, and right now I'm hard at work on the screenplay for what will be WKW's first English-language film, which either will or won't be called My Blueberry Nights. It'll be shot in America──all over America, actually──with a stunning array of guest stars, none of whose names I'm yet allowed to tell you. The star of the film will be Norah Jones, the singer, in her first dramatic role, and I'm actually not allowed to tell you that, either, so for heaven's sake keep it to yourselves, will you? It's a very exciting project. WKW's a very impressionistic director, and he's never worked with a writer before; he writes his films himself, and doesn't bother with a formal script, working things out as he goes along. Those of you who are reading this in Taiwan or Hong Kong may have seen news items to the effect that I'm writing a film for the Chinese actor Tony Leung (who, you'll note, starred in 2046 and other WKW films). I've met Tony, who's a fan of my Scudder novels, even as I am an admirer of his work on screen. He's a very nice fellow with a lot of personal magnetism, and we hit it off well. And we did in fact talk about the possibility of working together sometime on a picture in which he would play an Asian-American private detective. But that, I can assure you, is as far as it's gone. Will it ever happen? It might, but I wouldn't run out and buy tickets just yet.」 http://lawrenceblock.com/index_flash.htm --
