I would to love to hear what you guys think. My guess could be change in filming timeline that SYJ and team may be concerned with, considering that this project was first mooted in 2009. Because she may have made other plans in the future which may be affected if the timeline for the filming shifted. You can guess what those future plans may be. 7 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cream_Moki Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 First of all, congrats to our queen SYJ!!!! Very well deserved as she has been working her RickRoll'D off for the last 20 years. I'm also happy that they will film the movie in SK which means she gets to work on a Hollywood project without having to be separated from Binnie....double win! And I dont think people should be worried about Binjin wedding not happening due to this movie...Someone on IG mentioned once a Korean actor accepts a project then they need to follow certain rules which involves not allowed to get married (not sure if this is true?) But even if it is true....this is a Hollywood project not Korean so I assume those rules won't apply? I've seen Blake Likely got married to Ryan Reynolds while she was still filming Gossip Girl and Gal Gadot was a few months pregnant while filming Wonder Woman to name a few....I guess it's safe to say these things don't matter in Hollywood 8 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallyu Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 SlowMSTeam normally does not play PR. MS Team's statement on Holywood offer to SYJ. On July 6, Son Ye Jin’s agency MS Team Entertainment responded to the reports that the actress was set to star in the new film. Although hinting that it was almost a certainty that she would be starring in the movie, the agency was cautious with its words as it stated, “Son Ye Jin is in talks for the movie ‘Cross,’ and the outlook is favorable. Unless there are any huge changes, she’ll be going through with it.” P.S. There are more than 50 Korean media covering the news about SYJ's Holywood offer. https://www.soompi.com/article/1411108wpp/son-ye-jin-reportedly-set-to-make-hollywood-debut-in-new-film-opposite-sam-worthington 4 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jhari♥자리 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 There's a lot of things going on here. But I just want to say I'm happy for the new movie for SYJ. I'm happy for both of them actually.

MY15 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 @ElectricHearts Hello ElectricHearts, firstly, I apologise for posting my earlier comments publicly. I should have written to you privately instead. It never occurred at that time as I hardly comment. There was no ill intention. But thank you for making the effort to reply and to explain your point of view. I would also like to explain my part and will send you a DM. @wolfie26 You are like the pot calling the kettle... There have been numerous posts from yourself discouraging contributors here from posting comments that you do not agree with or think should be posted only in private. It does not matter that you do not name them but we all know which posts you were referring to. Several of the well respected contributors here have also written to question your authority and have refused to comply with your direction. Those posts started out gently but have become harsher recently as you have not listened. You should perhaps reflect on yourself too. And remember your own words the next time you post to criticise others: "Everyone is free to post and comment as many times as they want and like." 4 2 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they wanting to stipulate it on the contract that there might be conditions that will happen between now and March that will give them the option to back out? I would to love to hear what you guys think. Cheers! Based on what I've seen with Hollywood, here's a few off the top of my head: 1. Pay would be the #1 factor. Base salary, accelerators, share of box office, bonuses in cases of awards, etc. A lot of A-listers here in Hollywood have actually recently accepted lower base salaries for a higher cut of the box office haul. I believe this is how Jennifer Lopez structured her contract for Hustlers, which was a low-budget movie, and thus keeping it technically under budget, but she still ended up getting paid a lot when the film became a massive hit. 2. Nudity clauses. Depending on what the script calls for - they may negotiate for body doubles, b*tt doubles, bare back doubles, breast doubles, etc. They may want to include very specific nudity clauses - only side breasts to be shown, no b*tt cracks exposed, no nipular area exposed, etc., It all sounds funny but it's true. Anna Kendrick wrote in her memoir that she actually looked at a photobook for b*tt doubles for a film (most likely Pitch Perfect), and she had to let the producers/directors know her choice. She had a strict no-nudity clause in her contracts. 3. Scheduling and filming locations and lodging. What happens if there's delay in filming? They have to account for potential loss of revenue for artists when they have turned down other projects because it has a conflict with the film and then turns out, the film gets delayed, and then that artist loses the revenue for that other project turned down because they chose this film instead. They can also negotiate for lodging provided in case filming locations are in remote areas - negotiate for hotel, separate/private rooms, king beds, full room service, etc. Tom Cruise once yelled at the film crew when he found out he was going to share a hotel room with another actor. JLO is always adamant that the bedsheets on the bed she will be provided be a certain thread count. There are a lot more. But these are the ones I can think of. Not knowing about K-ent, but if they're saying "unless there are huge changes", they could be pretty close and just working out the minute details of the contract. 4 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would to love to hear what you guys think. I assume mainly schedule changes. It is hard to say what is going on with this covid situation. However, a part of me had also wondered if huge changes could be last minute changes to the script. Since last time she was in talks for a hollywood movie, she dropped out since they made significant changes to her character. Hopefully, that isn't a case again. I do like SK articles focus more on her character details. So hopefully that means her character is the main focus of the screenplay Also, being in a futuristic/dystopian world is a bit different too from what she has done. Although I have to agree, the whole cross borders thing does remind me of CLOY as well lol Also she really deserves to work post CLOY and accept these offers she is getting! So if anything, she at least has this film. Hopefully she can also do one later in the year too but it might be more of a risk if anything were to happen with covid by the time that project were to film. Then it might affect The Cross. I don't know I get such a headache when I think of other people's potential work schedule and all these uncertainties right now with covid. At least it is a distraction from my real life and wondering when I can go back to work lol 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would to love to hear what you guys think. I think this would have to do with the scenario / script, esp as it relates to her character ... maybe even the collaborative nature of the director to take feedback and make changes. If she accepts the role it is based on what has already been presented to her. I am assuming her character is of the strong, independent type - which falls in line with her previous works. If this changes or her role decreases, I don't see her having issue with dropping out as she has done previously. jmo. @QueenieBee I also noticed the movie has been in the works for the past 10 years and even the main cast was announced. So, def, nothing is set in stone. Curious to know what the delay has been but also hopeful as perhaps this has been a dream project for the writer / director and now he has a greater vision in delivering the project. 14 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricHearts Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 @Elle R I keep waiting for at least THR or Variety to at least mention about Sam being cast but nothing right now. I only had looked at his IMDB page yesterdat which was why I had originally wondered if he was available/how big his role would be in the movie. I see that Avatar 2 resumed filming recently. So I guess whenever that finishes filming and if any of his numerous pre production movies on his IMDB is he filming next? Hope it works out in the end. It will go well with all her other film projects. Plus the "cross border" makes us all think of CLOY. So in a way, it could be the perfect next project. Plus, she gets to talk more in English which will make Binnie more proud Plus more excuses to go to LA 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjayejin Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Few things : 1. I haven't seen casting news about any Hollywood celebs , things in US are pretty slowed down due to covid and casting news etc are not priority due to BLM as well . Keep that in mind 2. I haven't seen some of Sam's projects been announced prior to that project. 3. This thread is BJ - and I hate to say it ? But some might say fairly the thread is slowed down due to extensive discussion regarding the logistics of the movie itself - YJ has not seen confirmed - it was a vague confirmation to a vague project that Korean media reported FOR NOW . Probably because production is on early stage and its moving slowly. Keep the discussion focused on the ship * respectfully always * 4. YJ also reviews offer for the later half of 2020 within Korean soil . 5. We don't even know if HB is in Jordan or not yet. 6. Why? because things due to the pandemic are not working as previously . Keep that in mind . Until March there is a lot of time for things to advance . Until then lets hope discussions will move and the project itself is worthy enough for YJ to be in it . 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherie Cee Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 The actress Hollywood wants to cast in Cross is a well loved and distinguished SK actress, not just in her country but across the whole Asian continent. Thanks to CLOY, she has also garnered recognition in a lot of other countries outside of Asia. She has had an illustrious 20 year career, is fondly dubbed as "cow" in SK, for her work dedication and her commitment to her craft. Without any hesitation, I cannot think of a better role model for people within the k-ent industry. A total professional, her 20 year career is scandal-free, and in any project she has worked on, industry people have noted her unparalleled work ethics. This to me clearly reflects on her personality as well. She is a woman in control of herself, but at the same time despite this sucess, has remained to be firmly rooted to the ground. Hollywood, please accord her the respect she deserves. I do not like to delve into any discussion on Asian roles in Hollywood films, rather I would just like to point out that SYJ is topnotch, both as actress and a human being. Hope her talent gets utilized appropriately, especially since her next role after CLOY should measure up to such a high bar set by the massive success of this series. And here's a nice little visual representation of the love and recognition she has received from K-ent industry. Cow Ye Jinssii hwaiting!!! 6 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SHpectator Posted July 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2020 13 hours ago, Riritobinjin said: I think it would be nice for all of us to take deep breaths, take one step away and think of this news logically. People saying women can do it all, you're all right. I absolutely believe that women can perfectly balance work, marriage and children if they plan it all well and we all know that uri Jinnie is a great planner, so I am pretty sure if she chooses to do a Hollywood movie AND get married and have a child, she can perfectly do it all and very well too People who are concerned about her age and them starting a family, I think you're all right too. It is a valid concern and as a person who is 38 years old myself I can perfectly understand how we all think that Jinnie's biological clock is ticking. I also think when people talk about this they don't mean that Jinnie should give up her career and have kids and become a stay at home mom, they just speak out of genuine concern and I don't think it is an invalid concern. We are so quick to jump on people and call out their names immediately when they even remotely say something that can be misconstrued. All of us are here because of our love for our OTP and most of them here (at least people who are actively commenting, can't speak for lurkers) have their happiness in mind 100%. So I think it would be nice to stop arguing about women balancing marriage and career. It is hard but it has been done. It would be hard for YJ and having concerns about it is valid, but she can and if she chooses, she will do it too. So let's all please stop arguing with each other about it and celebrate the fact that our girl is going to Holly freaking wood I think SYJ herself acknowledges long before that getting married will greatly impact her career and she has mentioned how she has seen other women in k-ent had lesser opportunities to do what they want after getting married or having a family. That's just how it is in k-ent, or show business or even in the corporate world. Life is just more difficult for career women and acknowledging and preparing for this double standard doesn't necessarily mean she will have the same experience. That's why she has deferred any marriage dreams this long. she's so invested with her work and she's not ready to slow down, and more importantly, no worthy man in her life to give up everything for. Until HB came along. aigooo. Even then HB is one who respects, values and understands the importance of ambition and career so i think SYJ is really lucky to have met her match and will not hold her back career-wise even after they decide to start a family. I think that decision will be left to SYJ and she in turn will not settle down until she feels it's time and she's ready, and will fully commit to it (she has said before that she knows she will be completely involved in raising kids). These are bright individuals with unquestionable integrity i believe. they will make their decisions well. 8 hours ago, Edelweiss88 said: Unless there are any huge changes, she’ll be going through with it.“ Based on this Soompi article, they are still negotiating on the offer.

I would to love to hear what you guys think. Cheers! As i understand, at least in one instance in the past, SYJ already confirmed (or maybe started filming?) on a film but she backed out when there were some changes on the script or which diminished her character's role and as a result she probably didn't like to do it anymore. she is our picky princess after all, and rightfully so. So various situations could indeed arise that may alter the fate of a certain project. and for this one in particular, andrew Niccol has reportedly been working on Cross for 10 years already. But based on the drastic change in casting (Europeans) shifting to the East (Asian/Oceanian), theres probably a huge changed made on the script as well. From the synopsis provided above where Sam's character seems to be the center (i initially thought "strong woman" role meant Vera would be the central character) i could only hope YJ is seeing something special about this film for her to take interest in it. I've been reading some tweets about fans wanting to see Yejin slap some white man's face (referencing her role in The Truth Beneath), really cracked me up.

Apologies to anyone who is a fan of his. He definitely is a good looking man though. I have the same sentiment. Im ok if his casting would be to just to put hollywood weight on the film, but hoping SYJ's role would in fact be top-bill and not just the lead actor's love interest/damsel in distress to be saved... Also hoping pay equality won't be an issue, this is K-ent/Asia's acting queen we are speaking of, @AndrewNiccol (im just pretend-tagging him) accord her the respect she deserves. 17 10 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
