Filming Begins for What Could Be the Next All-Asian Movie from Major U.S. Production Company

 
Production is just getting underway for Disney’s live action version of Mulan, reported the Hollywood Reporter.
 
Mulan could be the next wide-distribution movie from an American production company featuring an all-Asian cast. This would come on the heels of Crazy Rich Asians which is set for release on Wednesday.
 
Mulan stars Liu Yifei as the title character.
 
The movie isn’t due out until March 2020, but Disney is whetting our appetites by releasing the first photo of Liu as Mulan.
 
According to  IGN, shooting will take place in both New Zealand and China.
 
Joining Liu will be Jet Li, Donnie Yen, and Jason Scott Lee, who was recently added to the cast.
 
Disney had previously said the live action version would not be a musical, unlike the original animated version. However, as of late, Disney has said that could change. Director Niki Caro, has said the film would incorporate music in some way.
