Internationally acclaimed Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi will likely
collaborate with heartthrob Takeshi Kaneshiro in a romance movie
next year.
Han Sanping, chief of the China Film Group Corporation, told the
Beijing Morning Post about the new project. Hong Kong
director Peter Chan will direct the film this time, which is
adopted from Ha Jin's award-winning novel "Waiting".
"Waiting", a compassionate tale of love and longing, tells a man
and a woman who waited for each other for nearly 18 years for their
love.
Filming will start earlier next year, according to Peter
Chan.
It will be the second collaboration between Zhang Ziyi and
Takeshi Kaneshiro since "House of Flying Daggers".
