It's not yet clear why the cameras decided to leave the project - one camp says that they simply didn't have enough time to master the tricky Mandarin dialogue, while another claims the cameras were demanding more money - but Woo seems unfaised. It seems the director has already solved the problem: he's going to shoot the project through his hands.
"Its always been a dream of mine to shoot a project through my hands,' he hasn't been quoted as saying, 'all directors would like to show the audience the film through their own eyes - I'm going to use my hands."
