	HSX Prediction Market: StarBonds® : Wayne Wang
		This attests to the sort of environment in which young Wayne was reared as it was a household immersed in the Hollywood culture half a world away.
		Wang made his pilgrimmage to California to study filmmaking at the California College of Arts and Sciences and thereafter returned home to Hong Kong hoping to buck the prevailing trend there of churning out one nondescript Kung Fu film after another.
		In 1995, Wang branched further out to tackle themes not specific to the Chinese experience, with the adaptation of Paul Auster's Smoke, an ensemble cast film starring Harvey Keitel centered around a cigar store heavy with the waft of cigar smoke, a metaphor for the vaporous, unquantifiable flavor and process that is life.

		Wang has been at his craft since the early 80's, a fact that directors and actors in the independent film community have known for quite a while.
		Under Wang's sensitive and intelligent direction, Harvey Keitel, William Hurt, Stockard Channing and Forest Whitaker all delivered nuanced performances that are at once uplifting and heartbreaking.
		Wang's new film The Center Of The World is definitely a movie that's been in his head for a long time.

	Wayne Wang (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-07)
		Director Wayne Wang grew up in a Hong Kong household that worshipped at the altar of Hollywood -- he himself was named for movie star John Wayne.
		Wang soon discovered that he was most effective marching to his own beat; an attempt at "popular" moviemaking, Slam Dance (1987), failed to make the turnstiles click, while the more unconventional Eat a Bowl of Tea (1989) proved to be an audience pleaser.
		Wayne Wang is married to actress Cora Miao, who has appeared in a number of his films, including Eat a Bowl of Tea (1989) and Life Is Cheap...But Toilet Paper Is Expensive (1991).

	The Center of the World Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Wang and his Smoke collaborator, writer Paul Auster, have concocted an interesting but ultimately unsatisfying story about how technology has altered the way in which people relate on a sexual level.
		Wang claims he has always wanted to make a film about sex, and cites Last Tango in Paris and In the Realm of the Senses as inspirations for his latest effort.
		Oversexed and underwhelming, Wayne Wang's The Center of the World strives to be a Last Tango in Paris for the Wired generation.

	The Films of Wayne Wang (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-07)
		Wang was one of the pioneers of the Independent Film in the United States.
		Wang makes a big deal of customers entering the shops, talking to the single clerk/manager in the store, who stands behind his counter, etc. Everything in the shops is in one moderately big room.
		Wang's Dim Sum seemed especially Bressonian in treatment, with Wang's camera frequently lingering on objects in a manner that recalls Robert Bresson.

	Salon Entertainment \| Thinking outside the "Chinese Box"
		A versatile and fluent visual stylist, Wang's first big box office draw was the more mainstream "Joy Luck Club" (1993), an adaptation of Amy Tan's novel, followed by the precisely crafted "Smoke" (1995) and "Blue in the Face" (1995), Paul Auster-derived character studies set in Brooklyn and Manhattan neighborhoods.
		Set during the six-month period prior to June 30, 1997, Wang's fictional salute to the big changeover evokes the complex, mysterious hybrid of Chinese and British cultures that defines Hong Kong, and reveals his own ambivalence toward it in the process.
		Wayne Wang recently spoke with Salon about "Chinese Box," dog-eat-dog capitalism and the experience of loving something that you're destined to lose.

	Wayne Wang Biography @ Filmbug
		Wang was born in Hong Kong after his family fled from China following the Communist takeover in 1947.
		The experience inspired Wang's second feature film, the critically acclaimed Chan is Missing, in which he used a thriller plot as a vehicle to explore social conflicts and political divisions in Chinatown.
		New York's Chinatown was the setting and the subject of Wang's subsequent Eat a Bowl of Tea, a period drama set in the 1940s and starring Wang's wife Cora Miao and Russell Wong.

	Chinese Box
		For Wang, this story — "of a man obsessed with a woman who turns out to be a whore" — provided a perfect metaphor for the dilemma of his central character, a besotted Englishman wrestling with his complicated feelings about the city, and the woman, that he's fallen for.
		Wang also decided at an early stage to cast actors in the other Chinese-speaking roles who were Hong Kong natives and veterans of the local movie industry, people who could bring a sense of bone-deep authenticity to their portrayals of Hong Kong characters.
		Wayne Wang, a key figure in the development of American independent filmmaking, was born in Hong Kong in 1949.

		In Wayne Wang's new film, Chinese Box, Jeremy Irons plays a leukemia case, an English journalist whose final days coincide with the final days of colonial Hong Kong before the Chinese takeover.
		Wang has also made two films in collaboration with novelist Paul Auster, Blue in the Face and Smoke, but his best-known film is no doubt his adaptation of fellow San Franciscan Amy Tan's novel The Joy Luck Club (1993).

	Wayne Wang (Chinese Box)
		Wayne Wang is a bit insecure about his new movie, "Chinese Box", marketed heavily as the Chinese-American's return to his native Hong Kong.
		Wang: I insisted to shoot in sequence, because I wanted to feel the movie from a day to day level on one hand.
		Wang: If I didn't have to deal with certain realities such as having characters or having stars in the movie, I would have made "Le Soleil," the Chris Marker movie, in a very impressionistic style and just focused on the city.

	Chinese Box . The Boston Phoenix . 05-18-98
		Wayne Wang's reputation as a director has unfairly hung on the immense and largely synthetic success of The Joy Luck Club.
		John is the vehicle for Wang's lament, and like the democratic vitality that's about to be extinguished in the city, John discovers that he too is dying, from a rare form of leukemia.
		Based on a story created by Wang, Paul Theroux, and screenwriter Jean-Claude Carrière (Luis Buñuel's frequent collaborator), Chinese Box hangs on the dislocation of its protagonist as he bounces among women, cultures, and classes, seeking closure in his waning hours.

	Wayne Wang Profile
		Wayne Wang was born in Hong Kong on the 12th January 1949, and was so named after his father's cinematic hero, John Wayne.
		Wang was frustrated with the limits of the small screen, and decided to make the move back to the United States.
		Here Wang attempted to try something new, and nothing could be further removed from his usual Asian inspiration than this seedy story of a cartoonist who becomes involved in a sex scandal and is framed for the murder of his lover.

		WANG: Gong Li Jeremy Irons was actually a wonderful actor who was willing to go to pretty far reaches to try things, but with Gong Li I was stuck with an actress who didn’t speak English — who didn’t learn her English very well — and was very conservative and kind-of in her own shell.

		IN WAYNE WANG'S latest film, the "center of the world" takes on a number of guises – two of them c-words, the other, its setting, Las Vegas.
		The story concerns a dot-commer and a riot grrrl stripper, and because the film is very much a product of a bygone time, 1998-99, when the Internet seemed to offer more than access to porn sites, the timing of its release concerned Wang.
		Wayne Wang: I wanted to shoot it like a documentary and also be free of all the technical stuff.

	Wayne Wang
		Wayne Wang was born in Hong Kong, and named in honor of his father's favorite movie star, John Wayne.
		When the film wrapped, Wang asked several cast members to stick around a few days more, and they improvised an instant sequel, Blue in the Face, with Madonna, Roseanne Barr, and RuPaul.
		If you've enjoyed some of Wang's films, we recommend his early, odd, and somewhat messy masterpiece, the noirish thriller Slamdance (1987) with Tom Hulce, Virginia Madsen, and Adam Ant.

		The new Wayne Wang film, "Center of the World", has been getting a lot of attention in the press recently, mostly because of its steamy sex scenes and its focus on the trendy world of dotcoms and intnet startups.
		The film is not a collaboration between Wayne Wang and Paul Auster, as some reviewers have suggested, nor was the screenplay written by Paul Auster and Siri Hustvedt.
		There are now two other writers crediting with contributing to the story and a different writer altogether is credited with the final screenplay, but hopefully Wayne Wang will remain true to Auster's vision as he has in their other collaborations.
