Jay Chou's new movie "Against War" was set to start filming at the end of the month, but director Dante Lam has delayed it until the middle of March. Jay Chou is partnering Nicholas Tse, the female lead has been confirmed as Mainland China actress Bai Bing. The Hong Kong movie database is introducing this movie as in Thai language, it makes you wonder that Director Chou, who just finished his English nightmare, is not just risking his life in Jordan to film the movie but will also be speaking Thai? JVR said they are making sure Director Chou is safe, they haven't heard anything about the Thai matter.

Director Chou's friends say he thinks of filming as a hobby, he's happy to try different things and challenges. Hong Kong EMP is investing HK$2 hundred million to film "Against War", they are very secretive about the details, according to investigations, the plot involves an international mystery case and a search for a relative, Director Chou and Nicholas Tse become heroes of the people, they fight across countries, Bai Bing is the beauty the two are aiming to rescue.

At present Director Chou has 10 commercials he is spokesperson for, from the start of the year till now there's been 4 new commercials appearing, he made use of his free time during the promotion of "The Green Hornet" to film them as his schedule is full, he can direct and act so does that mean he can film commercials faster? His friend said, he respects every director's creativity, he spends many days filming a commercial, but he will give his opinion during suitable times to make the commercial resonate even more with the audience. His partner Vincent Fang's mother's public memorial service was held yesterday, Director Chou took his mother along, the song Vincent's mother loved "Sound of Falling Rain" was broadcast.
