(HollywoodChicago.com) – We see sensual close-up shots of blueberry pie overflow with aqueducts of vanilla ice cream in Wong Kar-Wai's opening sequence of "My Blueberry Nights". This dreamy scene sets the tone of the latest film from the famous Chinese director as he confronts the West with his unique cinematic style.

Nicole Kidman has ruled out a leading role in Wong Kar-Wai's The Lady From Shanghai because she doesn't want to be separated from her husband for months at a time. The actress was the favorite to land the lead in the remake of the classic Orson Welles espionage thriller, but she has ruled herself out of the picture because she doesn't like the idea of living in another country - as she has for other foreign films.
