What part does QT have in the making of this movie? It is a Jet Li movie that there was a trailer for when I saw Vol 2. It started out by saying "In association with Quentin Tarantino" or something to that extent, but it never says what he did for the movie. Anybody have info?

Just found out what was meant by "Presented by Quentin Tarantino". Hero is made in and for China but QT liked it so much, that he is paying for it to be released in the US.

It's been released a few years ago in Asia, you could probably get it on a Region 3 or 4 DVD right now if you wanted; Taratino is in charge of localization, if you will, to the United States and other english speaking countries, so this movie is not so new after all.
tarantino is the name behind the success... or the flop to be. but if QT put his name on it, there is a pretty good chance that the movie would kick a$$... who knows, pai mei might make an apperance, that would be cool....

The original title is Ying Xiong. Hero is a movie that was done in 2002 and it was directed by Yimou Zhang. The reason QT is in the title is because he is responsible for introducing the film to the American audiences. Is kinda like Iron Monkey. QT wasn't the director but kinda like a producer of the film. Thanks to him marketing the film we were able to see here in the US.
Tarantino had nothing to do with this film directing or production-wise. Miramax has had distribution rights to Hero since 2002 and they've been sitting on this movie forever. The only reason Tarantino's name is on this film is because Miramax knows he has a fan-base out there and a lot of ignorant people will most likely make the mistake of thinking Tarantino was somehow involved in the making of this film. I've had Hero on DVD for over a year now but I'm still looking forward to seeing it on the big screen.
khan told me about hero months ago and I thought it was out..I looked every where for it and then all of a sudden there was the trailer for it when I seen kill bill...I really can't wait to see this movie.
Yeah, AND because he begged Miramax for years to release it untouched. So technically it is being introduced to American audiences by him. But you are right - most of my friends figured he directed it, too.
"In the year of our Lord 1314, patriots of Scotland, starving and outnumbered, charged the fields at Bannockburn. They fought like warrior poets. They fought like Scotsmen. And won their freedom."
Its not directed by QT. Its "presented by" QT meaning that he is responsible for bringing it to US theaters. However, this does mean its probably good if its backed by QT.
