Hi, don't know if anyone's posted on this before; the film Bodyguards & Assassins in coming out in September. Set in Hong Kong in 1905, it recreates the world Sun Yat Sen lived in, while the studio rebuilt Victoria on a 1:1 scale.  From the trailer looks like they rebuilt Queens Road towards Sheung Wan. How cool is that?

here's the trailer anyway. Looks good

Director is Teddy Chan, and has a few old favourites among its cast-list

yes, they have recreated most of Queens Road on a studio set in Shanghai.

Thanks for introducing this. It looks like they have some good 3-D computer generated models of the old streets too.

I guess they just get filed away on a backup tape once the movie is ready. Pity there's no way to have them on the internet for public access.
