Hartnett and fellow Asian heartthrobs charm Pusan film fest
BUSAN, South Korea — Josh Hartnett charmed one of Asia's top film festivals on Friday with his knowledge of Korean food.

The 31-year-old "Pearl Harbor" star was at South Korea's Pusan International Film Festival promoting his new thriller "I Come with the Rain." Co-starring with Hartnett in the story about an American detective hired to track down a rich Chinese businessman's son are Japan's Takuya Kimura and South Korea's Lee Byung-hun. Lee recently made his Hollywood debut in "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra." Vietnamese-French filmmaker Tran Anh Hung, the 1995 Venice Film Festival winner for "Cyclo," directed.

Hartnett, whose credits also include "Black Hawk Down" and "The Black Dahila," showered his co-stars with praise at a news conference.

He recalled meeting Kimura on location in the Philippines after the Japanese actor spent the day shooting covered in mud. "I was impressed by his professionalism," Hartnett said.

Kimura, meanwhile, admitted to being star-struck when he met the American. "Wow, it's Josh Hartnett!" he said he thought, but added that Hartnett was approachable. "I felt that he has a very big heart, and he is a very nice person."

Hartnett, too, confessed to feeling a bit taken aback when he met Lee. The South Korean was in his gym clothes at the time, showing off a bulky build. "I was intimidated," Hartnett said.

But Hartnett wanted to set the record straight on a dinner he shared with Lee -- at which the South Korean treated.

He joked that Lee thought he was clueless about Korean-style sushi when the American went for the cheaper sashimi.

"He's wrong. I was just being polite," he said, adding he frequently has Korean food in New York City.

Tran said the diverse cast made for a stimulating shoot because each actor brought a unique perspective.

"It was very interesting and very fun for me," he said

Хартнетт и компания Азиатских звезд очаровали кинофестиваль Пусан.

Busan, South Korea – в пятницу Джош Хартнетт очаровал один из самых главных кинофестивалей  Азии  своими познаниями в области корейской кухни.
31-летняя "звезда Перл-Харбора" был на South Korea's Pusan International Film Festival, продвигая свой новой триллер "Я прихожу с дождем". Вместе с Хартнеттом, в истории об американском детективе, нанятом, чтобы выследить сына богатого китайского бизнесмена, снимался Такуя Кимура из Японии, Lee Byung-hun из Южной Кореи.  Ли недавно дебютировал в Голливуде в G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra." Режиссер фильма - французско-вьетнамский режиссер Tran Anh Hung, победивший на Венецианском кинофестивале 1995 года со своим фильмом "Cyclo".
Хартнетт, снимавшийся также в  "Чёрном ястребе" и "Черной орхидее", осыпал своих коллег похвалами на пресс-конференции.
Он вспомнил, как встретил Кимуру в Филиппинах, после того, как японский актер провел весь день съемок в грязи. "Я был впечатлен его профессионализмом", сказал Хартнетт.
Кимура, в свою очередь, признался, что был поражен, когда он встретился с американской звездой. Он сказал: «"Ого, это Джош Хартнетт!", подумал я», но добавил, что Хартнетт был довольно открытым. "Я чувствовал, что у него очень большое сердце, и что он очень приятный человек".
Хартнетт, также признался, что был ошеломлён при встрече с Ли. (Южно)кореец был тогда в спортивном костюме, демонстрируя своё крупное(??) телосложение. "Я был напуган", признался Хартнетт.
Хартнетт, прямо на обеде, который он разделял с Ли, хотел дать интервью и рассказать о некоторых южнокорейских лечениях.
Он шутливо заметил, что Ли подумал, будто Хартнетт ничего не знает о корейских суши, когда тот заказал более дешевый сашими.
“Он не прав. Я просто был вежливым”, сказал Хартнетт, добавив, что часто заказывает корейскую еду  в Нью-Йорке.
Tran сказал, что такие разноплановый  актёрский состав был набран для того, чтобы стимулировать съёмки, поскольку у каждого актера свой, уникальный взгляд на съёмки.
"Для меня это было очень интересно и весело", сказал он.

Josh Hartnett overshadowed by Japanese actor Kimura
BUSAN, South Korea : Josh Hartnett isn't having things all his own way at Asia's largest film festival. Every time the Hollywood star appears in public, the loudest screams are being directed at his co-star.

Hartnett is here at the 14th Pusan International Film Festival to promote his latest film, the thriller "I Come with the Rain", alongside fellow cast members Lee Byung-hun, of South Korea, and Japan's Takuya Kimura.

And Saturday during an appearance before 5,000 fans who had camped out all day at the city's famous Haeundae beach the fans cheered when Hartnett appeared. But they went ballistic as soon as they saw Kimura.

It was the same at a press conference for the film Friday and on the red carpet during Thursday night's opening ceremony.

"It's okay," said Hartnett. "He's a good-looking guy. And I know the ladies love him."

Kimura, a member of boyband SMAP, has become an idol throughout Asia thanks to his roles in Japanese television series including the wildly successful "Hero" where he played a cop who bends the rules.

In recent years he has worked alongside art-house movie directors Wong Kar-wai, for "2046", and Yoji Yamada on "Love and Honor".

For his part, Kimura said acting alongside Hartnett had been an "honour" and that he had been surprised to find the American just a "very good guy."

Haeundae is often described as the world's most crowded beach during the summer months, when it attracts up to 100,000 people along its narrow 1.5 kilometre (one mile) stretch.

And it looked a little like that Saturday, with thousands crowding the sand and sitting in the autumn sunshine waiting for a chance to see the stars -- and even have their questions answered during an "open talk" session.

Hartnett was again gracious when his first questioner ask how he rated local actors compared to those he worked with in Hollywood.

"It's always a pleasure to work with great actors and it is very difficult to compare Hollywood actors with Asian actors," he said.

"All I can say is that they are extremely dedicated to their craft."

"I Come with the Rain" is an atmospheric thriller from the celebrated Paris-raised Vietnamese director Tran Anh Hung, who won the Camera d'Or at the 1993 Cannes festival for "The Scent of Green Papaya" and the Golden Lion in Venice for "Cyclo" in 1995.

Hartnett said shooting the film had been a unique experience as it had taken him to the Philippines and Hong Kong, and had mixed the styles of all the international filmmakers involved.

"The reception from the fans has been great and it is nice to see so many people support a poetic film like this," he said. "These types of films don't get released in Hollywood too often these days and that's a shame."

For his part, director Tran had earlier said shooting the film was a "nightmare" due to the locations he had chosen but he was proud of the end product and in particular of his three leading men.

"When I am casting a role the most important thing is the humanity that comes with the actor and I think you can see that with these three guys," he said.

My best friend is dating a Korean  (интересно, кого из лучших подруг Джош имеет ввиду )  and my younger sibling learned about Korean history as a major ... I want to cast Lee Byung Hun for a movie I could direct ... I also want to work with Lee Young Ae. Korean women I have seen since my visit here are all beautiful."

He ended by saying, "So many fans were supporting me so I was thankful of that. I couldn't sightsee because of my schedule but next time I want to visit different places."
