    Hong Kong director Stanley Tong has been preparing for his new project Lady General Hua Mulan, ever since his latest film The Myth, starring action hero Jackie Chan and Korean favorite Kim Hee-Seon, was a big success.

    It is reported that the director has commenced selection for the leading roles of the US$20-million blockbuster, and he recently set his sights on the hottest Chinese star in Hollywood, Zhang Ziyi.

    An assistant to the director confirmed that the shooting will formally begin in Canada and China in October, and that Zhang Ziyi is currently reading the script and has not yet made a decision.

    The story is based on the historic Nan-Bei Dynasties period and embodies the popular folk tale entitled Hua Mulan. The film will present a variety of styles, from moving love scenes to huge war scenes.

    well zhang ziyi is quite possibly the most popular chinese actress so it makes sense for them to want her to play the part of mulan. too bad for all the other worthy actresses though

    just hope that the movie turns out well...

    I believe its a TVB drama... unless there was a ATV series I didn't know about. Yea Mulan is always portrayed as a mischievous type character, but with Zhang Ziyi I think they're gonna have a serious tone to it, since Zhang doesn't see to have a comical side to her...

    wow zhang ziyi again? im amazed. i have to agree that i'd rather have gong li on the scenes BUT then again she ain't that kind of lively character i would hope to find on the movie.
