about stephen chow's cj7 movie
i have been trying to follow Stephen Chow's upcoming CJ7 (長江七號 Chang Jiang qi hao) sci-fi feature for quite a while (waiting patiently for a trailer at least) but have been befuddled at every turn, with constant name changes and not least of all; the film's story-synopsis - this is my "fav":

seriously tho, based on his previous feature; KungFu Hustle (or even Shaolin Soccer), Chow has been/is mixing genres and crossing timelines and it would come as no surprise that maybe all the different synopsis found online do make up different parts of the film (or it could be this one gigantic disinformation dissemination to throw folks like me off, ennit? heh) - the results of which is without a doubt hanging in the air (how can anyone judge when no one's seen it yet) and for which i personally and eagerly awaiting for :)

Chow plays a man who lives in a partly demolished house. He takes in a homeless boy (who is actually played by a girl, Xu Jiao). Whether the semi-demolished house and the homeless boy are on Earth, or on the alien planet is not clear. As Chow's character can't afford to buy a toy for the child, he finds a makeshift toy in the garbage and brings it back to his "son". The "toy" is actually a powerful alien device and the aliens are desperate to get it back. Some rumours state that it is a "pet" rather than a "toy". [wiki]
