South Korea's highly popular 2003 television series "Dae Jang-geum," or "Jewel in the Palace," will be made into a feature film, the Chinese web portal 163.com reported. China's Xi'an Film Studio will cooperate with a South Korean film company on the project, officials said at the company's fiftieth anniversary celebration on Saturday in Xi'an. Lee Yeong-ae, who attained fame through the smash-hit TV series, again will play the heroine, Seo Jang-Geum. South Korean heartthrob Song Seung-hun also will be cast in a role, although the exact one has yet to be determined, the report said. Chinese actors and actresses are expected to play some lead roles, but the details have not been decided. Other reports have cited speculation that China's Zhang Yimou had been invited to direct the film, but he declined. source: asianbite credit: CRI English
hmmm....they're probably guna cut out some parts hopefully not the key key parts but on the lookout for this -detect
HELL NO .. I think they should use either the original actor or SSH for the leading man .. not some Chinese dude .. the chemistry ain't there ... the two leading roles have to be played by either all Korean or Chinese .. not one of each ... this is a powerful series and if you fucked up the movie, you can expect to be laughed off your ass for the next decade.
