Wong Kar-wai's latest film is an Englsih language film, My Blueberry Nights, with native Englsih speaking actors set in America. It looks as if this one will be finished in a more reasonable time frame that the last couple of films(2046, In The Mood For Love) he has made which had taken years for completion. Here's an exerpt from The NT Times:
Mr. Wong, 48, is keen to describe “My Blueberry Nights,” a road movie shot in New York, Memphis, Las Vegas and Ely, Nev., with a cast that also includes Natalie Portman, Rachel Weisz and David Strathairn, as a new beginning. His last film, “2046,” was planned as science fiction but demonstrated the gravitational pull of the past as well, succumbing to the hothouse delirium of 1960s Hong Kong. A kaleidoscopic head rush, “2046” quoted so extensively from Mr. Wong’s earlier work that it felt like a midcareer retrospective unto itself.
