Mini News: Michelle Yeoh, GI Joe 2, The Three Musketeers, Warrior, Wu Xia

Last week, a Malaysian actress Michelle Yeoh banned from entering Myanmar.

Government officials said she arrived in Yangon on June 22 and was deported the same day because her name was listed as persona non grata.

Although officials did not explain the reason for the hit Yeo blacklisted, it is likely that this ban is related to her role in the film "Lady" (The Lady), in which she plays a fighter for democracy, an oppositionist named Aung San Suu Kyi.

Yeo came to Myanmar to Suu Kyi last December, before details of the film even surfaced.

The director of the film is Luc Besson, and it was filmed in Thailand, France and the UK. The release should take place in October of this year.

    By the way, “GI Joe 2” has a very interesting story. :) If you remember, the first part was originally called “GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra”, but was released at the box office under the name “Throw of the Cobra”.

    And now here’s a joke: the second part is called “GI Joe 2: Cobra Strikes” - that is, the same “Throw of the Cobra”. I'm wondering what name they'll come up with now? :)

    Producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura promised fans that “GI Joe 2” would feature a lot of ninjas and a lot of ninja-related action. Apparently, the main characters will be Snake-Eyes and Roadblock (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson).

    The Burmese take revenge on the Siamese, and take their anger out on Yeo. Not good.

      It’s okay, the situation with domestic “midshipmen” is the same.
