Jonathan Rhys Meyers takes a break from playing the young, hot version of King Henry VIII to appear alongside Radha Mitchell, Chow Yun-Fat and Michelle Yeoh in The Children of Huang Shi, which looks like a sure bet for awards consideration. It's set in China in 1937, and Rhys Meyers plays a journalist looking for a story. But he commits the ultimate sin in journalism and gets attached, finding there are things more important than telling the story. You know, like actually helping people. It's based on the true story of George Hogg, who helped save children during Japan's occupation of China. The trailer has a cheesy tag about the kids Hogg saves: "War made them orphans. Love made them legends." But none of the actual scenes from the movie look like they wade too far into the schmaltz. And, if it ends up being worse than it looks, at least you have four lovely lead actors to gaze at. Either way, you win.
