NEW FILM FROM JOHNNIE TO

It looks like Johnnie To isn't just Milkyway's director anymore. Meridian Pictures (which was a producer for SEVEN SWORDS) has signed a deal that will see JT direct 3-4 big budget movies for them over the next six years.

First up: BUTTERFLY FLIES.

Starring Li Bing-bing (who was just cast) and Vic Chow, and written by Ivy Ho, the movie is about a girl who has a fight with her boyfriend right before he dies in an accident. She gets depressed, and then she meets his ghost. To will have to come up with a complete shooting script before production begins since the movie needs to be approved by China as it's a Mainland/HK co-production.
