Even more problems for Battle of Red Cliff

The already troubled John Woo-directed Battle of Red Cliff has suffered yet another major problem during shooting. After already having casting problems (the project has lost several key actors) the project has now lost another major contributor - its cameras.
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."
