The theme of TIFF 2008 is “Ecology = Preservation of Earth’s Environment”, and the organiser replaced the usual red carpet with a green carpet made from recycled plastic bottles to exemplify the theme, which I doubt could bring any meaningful effect.
A total of 315 films from around the world will be shown during the nine-day event. Chinese movie “Red Cliff”, directed by Hong Kong director John Woo, was selected to kick start the screening; would be cute if the stars wore some green outfit during the green carpet to echo the theme lol.

Heard that John Woo already in the plan to make the sequel of the Red Cliff
Evan… the filming is already completed for the sequel; it’s just that the movie is separated into two parts but the filming was done in one shot.
Yein Jee, no I mean the new sequel … the new series…
has part 2 come out yet? i guess i meant that i know Red Cliff was split into 2 parts…like how Lord of the Rings was a trilogy. i’ve already seen the 1st part but haven’t checked to see if the 2nd part has been released.
Evan… ic, haven’t heard of it, thanks for the note though.
vietgirl… January 2009 if not mistaken.
