Last week filming started in Shanghai on John Woo’s all new Asian swordplay movie called Rain of Swords. Action actress Michelle Yeoh, now 47 also joins the cast of this multimillion dollar production. The film is co-directed by Taiwan’s Su Chau-bin along with John Woo. Action choreography will be handled by Stephen Tung-wei.
Its great to finally see Michelle Yeoh back in Asia after a dissappointing run in Hollywood with Babylon A.D and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.
Yeoh plays a female assassin who falls in love with the son of a man killed by her team of assassins. They say love is blind and it certainly seems to be the case here as both Yeoh and her lover are unaware of each others past or martial arts abilities. As their love grows, her past soon comes back to haunt them.
Michelle Yeoh is still in amazingly good shape, but if Michelle Yeoh isnt enough eye candy for you then you will be pleased to hear that Kelly Lin and a wealth of other beauties will also have roles in this potential blockbuster.
Not due for release until August 2010 , Woo who joined the project as co-director had nothing but praise for the script.
Whilst we wait for more news on Rain of Swords, dont forget that Mrs Ferrari (Yeoh is married to Jean Todt did you know?) can also be seen in Wo Pings True Legend.
