Wong Kar Wai is notorious for taking his time to finish his films. Apparently, the director's latest finished piece has taken nearly forty years to finish.
According to a press release recently sent out to various news outlets, the film has yet to be titled, but it is a documentary about the potty training of Wong Kar Wai's little brother, Wong Harpo.
Delays in finishing include: a lawsuit by Wong Harpo over using scenes with him nude, some footage was lost, the fact that no one wants to watch it, and simple laziness. The first two were solved via expensive CGI and body doubles by Tony Leung in select scenes with cinematography by Christopher Doyle. The third reason has yet to be solved, and no one has been motivated enough to solve the fourth.
Nonetheless, it is a new Wong Kar Wai film, and it has us excited?
UPDATE:
We have since found out that the press release contained erroneous information. The film is still not complete. Apparently, some miscommunication over the use of the phrase "in the can" has occurred, and the film is in fact resting inside someone's bathroom.
