When Psychos meet screen Legends

[R1s1ngs0n]

I recently had the great fortune and privilege of having a legend of Hong Kong and Hollywood cinema as one of our guests - the very distinguished Mr. John Woo.

An absolute gentleman who was kind enough to oblige your truly with a nice photo to cherish.

Thank you, Mr. Woo, for the awesome films you've given us and may your future projects continue to dazzle action fans around the world.

No, I didn’t ask for one. Shaking his hand was more than enough for me.

Very cool.  Sometimes, it's hard to believe these geniuses are actually real people.

 

When you say he was a guest, did you host a symposium or some sort of film festival, or do you just throw great dinner parties?  🤣

This is awesome.

 

What an honour.

 

Have you had any other distinguished guests such as these?

He stayed with other people from his production team, so it was work related. Can't say more than that.

It was indeed an honour. We don't have a lot of showbiz/music people staying with us, at least compared to the previous hotel where I worked which was located near several concert venues.

Last true movie star I remember staying with us was Ralph Fiennes, but that was at least 5 years ago.

He's currently working on a film called "Silent Night", which is intended to be an action film with barely any dialogue.

Not sure if there's any production going in France at this time, though.

I'm going to go out on a limb here...

 

Judging by the slight Leon-era Jean Reno look you have going on...

 

I'd say you're playing some sort of assassin in his movie. 😅

Hopefully Eli not up to his old tricks in his hotel 🤣

Maybe Mr. Woo's premature departure was due to him not appreciating my early morning calls.

I'm sure the service was 10/10.
