'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' prequel to be filmed
The creators of the Oscar-winning film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" have started pre-production for a prequel to the story.
Filming of the "The Green Destiny" will get underway this summer at locations in New Zealand and China.
Michelle Yeoh will be back to reprise her role as female warrior Yu Shen Lien.
Yuen Woo-ping is back to coordinate the action scenes.

Gong Li Recalls Most Impressive Scene of 'Coming Home'
Chinese actors Gong Li, Chen Daoming and others have held a news conference to promote the new Zhang Yimou film "Coming Home."
The film is adapted from the novel "Lu Fan Yan Shi," or "Criminal Lu Yanshi."
Gong Li says filming at the Tangshan Railway station in Hebei was a unique experience.
"The impressive scene for me is getting the 'criminal.' It's set in 1960s and 70s. We shot it in Tangshan Railway Station in Hebei province. It took us more than ten days to finish it. We worked on it together. One of the extras ran so fast he suffered a heart attack. It was hot out there, but we had to wear warm clothes when shooting it. The next day, Chen Daoming ran so quickly that he threw up. Liu Peiqi and I were ok. That scene was most impressive to me."
"Coming Home" is set shortly after the Cultural Revolution.
The film is set to hit Chinese screens on May 16th.
Charlie Chaplin Main Inspiration for 'Rio 2' Director
Brazilian director Carlos Saldanha has been promoting his new film 'Rio 2' here in China.
In an exclusive interview with China Radio International, Saldanha says Charlie Chaplin provided the greatest source of inspiration for him when he was developing his artistic sense as a child.
"I watched a lot of animations, especially the Disney movies back in the day, with classics of course, like Dumbo, Bambi, Pinocu, but also with TV, Tom and Jerry. I love Tom and Jerry. And also the biggest inspiration from my childhood was watching Charlie Chaplin movies. And I loved watching those black and white movies with no dialogue, just action and fun. You know acting of those iconic masters of cinema."
The 3D computer-animated 'Rio 2' features the returning voices of Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway, Will.i.am and Jamie Foxx.
It is now in theaters across China.
