Replaced cast - Red Cliff 2
- Tony Leung Chiu-Wai was originally selected for the role of Zhuge Liang. However, he quit before the shooting, citing health problems, as he was burned out after filming Lust, Caution.[5] Producer Terence Chang said financial backing is not affected by the change.[2]
- Ken Watanabe was originally selected for the role of Cao Cao.[6] According to a report, some Chinese fans voiced objections over the choice as they felt that it was inappropriate for a Japanese actor to play the role of such an important Chinese historical figure. The report claimed that the protests influenced the decision of director John Woo, who eventually chose Zhang Fengyi for the role.[7]
- Chow Yun-Fat was originally selected for the role of Zhou Yu, and had even earlier been considered for the role of Liu Bei. However, he pulled out on 13 April 2007, just as shooting began. Chow explained that he received a revised script a week earlier and was not given sufficient time to prepare, but producer Terence Chang disputed this, saying that he could not work with Chow because the film's Hollywood insurer opposed 73 clauses in Chow's contract.[8] Chow was replaced by Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, who had previously turned down the role of Zhuge Liang.[9][10]
