Ziyi Zhang starring in live-action Mulan movie
John Blickstead wrote the screenplay for Jan de Bont to direct from. The story about the female soldier who joined a Chinese all-male army dates back to a 6th Century poem and Mulan's tale was made popular by the 1998 Disney animated movie Mulan.
Mulan will start shooting this fall at Hengdian World Studios, which is three hours outside of Shanghai, with the production expected to run through January. Movie Plus Productions of Canada, Global Film Finance of the U.K., China's Bona International Film Group and SIMF Pictures are teaming up to produce the new live-action movie. It was said that the production is currently seeking both English-speaking and Chinese-speaking actors for the movie.

a crook will act as mulan,LOL. zhang's out of all big red carpet shows in and out China for long time,she had lost most of her commercial endorsement contract .why? only she knew the ugly truth about her donation scandal.

He who says ziyi zhang is boycotted in China is not true.
I'm looking forward to her mulan.
The last version of mulan is totally terrible.The actress is old and ugly,plus zero performance tech!

I still think this is an odd move, but if this isn't a musical, this will be sweet! :P

if the investors don't care about their profit ,just use Zhang in Mulan 3D, coz she is boycotted by tens of millions chinese now due to her unsolved donation scandal.
