...made the movie a gut as well as a head experience. He has won further acclaim for Crouching Tiger, and he was the one person who could say no to the world-class director making his first action film, which happened on more than one occasion. No wonder: the script would read, "They fight," leaving the overall conception to Lee and the hard work of realizing it to Yuen. "When I'm working with good directors," Yuen says, "they'll often come up with ideas that profoundly inspire me. And then if I can make them workable, we'll shoot...
Green is now at that golden fork in his career. His first test comes in May, when he is to direct a science-fiction film from someone else's script. "I've got a lot of films I want to make," he says, "and not all of them are intimate or low-cost.

"The movie changes as we go along," says Mori. In the film Sonatine, the actor Ren Osugi's character was supposed to die in one of the first scenes. But Beat liked his performance so much...
...around. In the cemetery, a plain slab of gray Aberdeen granite bears all the victims' names. In Tundergarth churchyard, 5 km away and opposite the field where the plane's blue-and-white nose fell, a tiny stone building houses two memorial books. One lists the dead in flowing script, another records their personal histories. Pilgrims who come to this silent, haunting place have also left signed photographs behind, mostly of children, or notes in the visitors' book. "John Michael Ahern. rip. Always in our hearts. Love, Dad," was one poignant entry last month for the 26-year-old from...
