Rising young actress, Isabella Leong, will join the star-studded
cast of Mummy: Curse of the Dragon, the third installment
in The Mummy movie series.
The 18-year-old film star from Hong Kong will act as the
daughter of a wizard, played by Malaysian actress, Michelle Yeoh,
and together they will fight the mummy, played by Kung Fu star Jet
Li, along with his mummy troops. The mummy is China's first Qin
Dynasty Emperor, now a shape-shifting entity, who was cursed by the
wizard centuries ago.
Leong also recently showed up at the 57th Berlin Film Festival
in February with the movie Isabella, in which she plays
the illegitimate child of a Macao policeman. She is expected to fly
to Canada as the latest Mummy installment starts shooting in July,
and will come back to China to shoot in Xi'an's Terracotta Warriors
museum. The movie is scheduled to open to the public in July
2008.
