Crystal Liu Lands The Coveted Role In Niki Caro’s MULAN For Disney

I was irking to find out what exactly were the ins and outs of The Hollywood Reporter’s exclusive post on Tuesday about the upcoming Mulan film from director Niki Caro. Apparently that report had been retracted from the bulletin so I didn’t forward anything and especially since other trade sites didn’t echo the news.

Thus, the word is officially out now and with none other than actress Crystal Liu (The Forbidden Kingdom, The Four franchise, Once Upon A Time) having nabbed the heralded role telling of a young girl who bends her gender to join the military in place of her sick father in lieu of a forthcoming invasion. The film opens in 2019 apart from Sony’s own development of a live-action take on the character with a date pending.

Liu was one of a reported 1,000 candidates for the production’s five-continent visit per its search for an Asian lead – a tantamount decision for cinephiles pained by whitewashed roles in minority-centric multimedia. Chris Bender, Jason Reed and Jake Weiner are producing the film.

Check Out The New Teaser For THE FOUR 3D!

Banking on his promise to deliver a full trilogy as of a few years ago, director Gordon Chan has returned to the fray with the latest teaser for The Four 3D, featuring the return of our cast including Deng Chao, Crystal Liu, Anthony Wong and many more. The film marks the final installation of the franchise based on a series of novels by Malaysian author Wen Ruian about four unique detectives who use their skills to solve unsolvable crimes and apprehend powerful criminals, incidentally swept into what the film deems as their final battle with an ultimate evil force.

SYNOPSIS:

The reputation of the Four constables survives, but since Emotionless’s (Crystal Liu Yifei) departure, there have been changes at the Divine Constabulary. The four Coldblood (Deng Chao), Iron Hands (Collin Chou), Life Snatcher (Ronald Cheng), rescue Zhuge Zhengwo (Anthony Wong) from An Yunshan’s mountain fortress, then with the Emperor and Di armies, they attack.  

But An Yunshan absorbs their power, which means the constables and their allies now face their most lethal opponent yet, a nearly invincible kung fu master who won’t stop until he has absolute power…

The Four 3 bows domestically on on August 22. Check out the new trailer below as well as a batch of stills from the new film courtesy of Enlight Pictues.
