The action-adventure was shot on location around the world, from China to Tanzania. What did Angelina have to say about the rigors of filming the movie?

She wants to be called "Z" in America. StudioLA's Jim Ferguson chatted with "Z," better known as Zhang Ziyi on her meteoric acting career which is now crossing borders into this summer's comedy, "Rush Hour 2" the sequel to the $250 million blockbuster with superstars Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker.

"Z" has captivated the hearts and minds of America as the young martial arts heroine in the Oscar-winning "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," the most popular foreign-language film in U.S. history. "Rush Hour 2" director Brett Ratner saw her in "Crouching Tiger" and rewrote a part for her in his movie originally written for a man. With "Rush Hour 2" not due in theatres until August, "Z" fans will be able to see her in "The Road Home," a 1999 Chinese film now being released in the U.S. This is the film that Oscar-winning director Ang Lee saw when he decided to cast her in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

Arnold's back!

Posted by Mike Kai on Wednesday, 13 August 2003

Who else, but Arnold Schwarzenegger.

It's been more than a decade since Arnold last made an appearance on the silver screen as the Terminator, and now he's back!

In Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines there's a new director, a mostly new cast, and a futuristic female Terminator who proves to be more than a match for the original Terminator himself.

In an exclusive to Rotten Tomatoes, StudioLA covered T3 's red carpet premiere in Los Angeles as hundreds of fans came out to see a glimpse of Arnold and the stars of the latest Terminator movie walk down the red carpet. But at the age of 55 and still going strong, Arnold was obviously in a league all by himself. With his wife Maria Shriver at his side, the man of the hour looked more than ready to take on cyborg killing machines, but was noticeably more politician than celebrity when asked to comment on the swirling speculation of a possible candidacy for governor of California.
