Is Brokeback Mountain a remake of something Taiwanese?

No, it's the filming of a short story. The director (Ang Lee) is Taiwanese.

A must see!\n\nAng Lee's upcoming film "Brokeback Mountain" about two young cowboys (Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal) who tumble into love while herding sheep through the Wyoming mountain range during the early '60s, was excluded from the Cannes screening schedule altogether reports After Elton. \n\nGiven Ang Lee's track history, the elimination from the running at Cannes is of note, especially since the contenders this year are helmed by indie cinema darlings like Lars Von Trier, David Cronenberg, Wim Wenders, Jim Jarmusch, and Gus Van Sant (who was originally slotted to direct Brokeback). However, Cannes has also never accepted a film of Lee's for competition, and reportedly don't particularly like him. So the film's rejection from the lineup may have nothing to do with the movie itself, rather with who's directing it.\n\nWhy the project didn't measure up at Cannes remains unknown, though the trades reported two weeks earlier that "Brokeback Mountain" was "looking wobbly for Competition," and confided that the film reportedly "underwhelmed the selection committee."\n\nThis comes at odds with other recent reports that many studio executives were "moved to tears" at a recent screening of it. "It's a great American love story," says a source to the paper who confirmed it is unabashed about the gay relationship that is central to the film and there are sex scenes. Whether the famous Heath Ledger skinny dipping photos that surfaced last year were part of the film is unsure though they won't be in the movie's final edit. \n\nOne of my most reliable sources who also happens to be one of Dark Horizons' greatest supporters (and a really good friend) also confirmed that people were crying and loving the film at a recent US screening.

Haha, I just totally posted a topic just like yours. I definitely thought it should have won over crash. I mean, honestly, the average person heard much more about Brokeback Mountain than Crash. The acting was superb, it was origional, I enjoyed it.

It's pretty obvious that Brad Pitt and the guy from Batman Begins (Christian Bale) are pretty good looking, but I wouldn't do either of them, even it were a threesome with Angelina.  \n\nIt's strange even though I am totally comfortable with who I am I am totally compelled to put in the disclaimer.  Interesting....\n\nAnd I'd have no problem watching brokeback mountain, just not with my dad.

It kind of sounds like The Hunted with Christopher Lambert.\nI don't think there was a a Chinese sword fighter that wants to be the next Ronin in it though. I think it was where an American business man sees a ninja assassinate a woman and sees his face and a samurai family helps protect him.

It's not based on a novel but it's also not an original screen play.  It is based on another motion picture called "il mare".

everyone is correct. Jodie Foster starred in the remake titled: Anna and The King with Chow Yun-Fat that came out a few years ago, bother versions are good, but i got a soft heart for the classics. There's been a few different versions over the years with different titles. Anna and The King (with Jodie), The King and I (musical version) and Anna and The King of Siam (first movie made)\n\nHope this helped!!!

It cetainly does not mean that QT directed the movie.\n\nRead this story for an understanding........\n\n You may get a chance to see Zhang Yimou's 2002 release, Hero (Ying Xiong), in the States since it’s being presented by Quentin Tarantino whose name flashes first thing on the trailer. First or not, Tarantino has done a justice to Asian cinema not only by showcasing its influences in movies like the Kill Bill Volumes but also by using his established name to bring some deserving Asian films into the light of the western world. "And I am very proud to do that," Tarantino tells Fangoria Magazine. "I had to fight for it with Miramax. I think they lost faith in it and everything. And I thought that Hero was an absolute masterpiece, so I fought with them not to cut it. Not to bring it down, but to keep it the same length as when I saw it. And finally they agreed if I would present it. So I got in touch with Zhang Yimou and he was cool with that. Yeah, he was as happy as a clam. So that's what I am doing—it's pretty much what I did for Iron Monkey." So Miramax is releasing it in the States (at least L.A. and New York), and rumors are flying that it'll be in its full glory, all 120 minutes rather than their edited, 95-minute European release, though we haven't seen the extra scenes yet. \n     Writer, producer, and director Zhang Yimou brings us Hero, a story of the revenge of the nameless warrior (played by Jet Li) of his people. Hero uses flashbacks to show how the nameless warrior defeats three assassins out to murder a warlord he intends to destroy in pre-unified China. The film contains stunning visuals and martial art scenes throughout, comes from the producers of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and is hailed by critics as even better. \n\n\n\n \n     Western audiences may also get a chance (cross our fingers!!) to see Zhang Yimou's follow up to Hero, Shi Mian Mai Fu (aka House of Flying Daggers, aka Flying Daggers at Cannes, aka Lovers in Japan), seeing that its full trailer is now popping up online. Shi Mian Mai Fu is about a soldier and a blind revolutionary who fall in love during their journey. You can check out the trailer here on WMP (the only format so far). You can also check out the Hero trailer at Yahoo! Movies in WMP or QT. \n\n-Jennifer Hall\n\n..........................\n\nTo present is to back a movie for Distribution!

Well the movie Walking Tall has been remade a few times. If you are talking about the most recent version with The Rock in it, then I might be able to help you out.  I have the move and  its a big favorite of my family.  Check out this information on the movie on the link below.  You might be able to find the information out about Tiger Woods in there too, just put in his name in the search engine and see what comes up.  The IMDB is a really good source of all kinds of media information, book mark it and you will be surprised how much you really use it.
