Hollywood hitmaker Jan de Bont has signed up to direct Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi in an independently-produced, English-language co-production of the classic tale of Hua Mulan, the legendary young heroine soldier who joins an all-male army.
"Mulan" is set to start shooting this fall outside Shanghai, where de Bont, the director of "Speed," "Twister" and "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" will attempt to bring romance, action and drama to screenwriter John Blickstead’s recreation of the Chinese Joan of Arc story that was first described in a 6th century poem.
