Hong Kong director, Jingle Ma has created a live action movie based on the folk tale of Hua Mulan
starring Wei Zhao.
This is not necessarily business, nor completely Disney related, but I don't care because this is pretty boss.
Of course, Disney made an animated version of the Chinese folklore in 1998, but this film will not have
Broadway style musical numbers, an Eddie Murphy voiced sidekick, or convenient solutions to all problems.
Instead, it will focus more on the more human (rather than godly hero) aspect of the character and her
emotional response in fighting.
As of now the film opens in China, Singapore and Malaysia on Friday, but distribution deals for the U.S.
and Europe are being negotiated.
/Not really related, but pretty exciting anyway.
