                  According 
                    to Variety, the films (on the web and in theaters) will feature 
                    a recurring character, played by Croupiers Clive 
                    Owen. Ronin director John Frankenheimer will direct the 
                    first film, followed by Lee and fellow Hong Kong director 
                    Wong Kar-Wai. I am pleased to be part of this project 
                    that is on the cutting edge of new technology, Frankenheimer 
                    told Variety. This film has huge action elements as 
                    well as a clever personal story.  
                   
                    The films will be available in theatres, on DVD and will be 
                    hosted on the website BMWfilms.com. 
                    The first film will debut in the spring with Ang Lees 
                    second short following shortly after.
