Hollywood actor Josh Harnett is working with host of A-list Asian stars in his next movie, “I come with the Rain.”
The Asian stars include Japanese hunk Takuya Kimura (pic right), Korean star Lee Byung-hun (pic left) and Hong Kong actor Daniel Wu Shawn Yue.
Josh is starring as a detective that is mentally disturbed after capturing a serial killer. He is assigned to help a Japanese to find his missing son (Takuya Kimura) and encountered various situations in Asia.
Lee Byung-hun is playing a Hong Kong gangster; Daniel Shawn’s role is not revealed, but I am guessing that he is a policeman in Hong Kong helping Harnett in his case.
Josh, Lee and Shawn are currently filming the movie in Hong Kong; Takuya Kimura will be joining them in early September.
Update - it seems that Daniel Wu has to pull out from the filming because of injury; his role is taken by Shawn Yue instead.

yes he was in Philippines…he went to shoot in Compostela Valley somewhere in mindanao…reporters who had a chance to ambush interview him said that, he enjoyed his filming there…he loved how the people gave him a very warm welcome…he even said that he will come back to visit more the place and to have a vacation as well…i also read the director really put the place in the movie because he was deeply moved by the scenery and the history of the place…

yellowpaint94… Philippines seems to be getting popular these days. I remember a poll some months ago that Philippines is Korean artists’ favourite vacation country. If you guys look closely you could perhaps spot some Korean stars on streets easily :)

yeah i agree…actually, the koreans are now the most tourists who visit Philippines…before the Americans ranked no.1 next to europeans and the japanese…i guess they liked the weather and the beautiful sceneries here…a lot of them started migrating here too…

yellowpaint94… South East Asia countries rarely got into a Hollywood movie.
I wonder how the Koreans started noticing Philippines… there has to be a point where they started showing great interest with whatever reason it is. Any popular Korean drama was filmed in Philippines for the past few years?
