TAIPEI: Oscar-winning filmmaker Ang Lee said Thursday he is preparing to be “crucified” over his latest movie because it experiments with a new futuristic 3D format.

Taiwan-born Lee returned to the island to promote his war drama “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk” starring newcomer Joe Alwyn, Kristen Stewart, Vin Diesel and Steve Martin ahead of its November 11 international release.
