Actor Ye Liu is attached to the upcoming production THE LADY AND THE PANDAS by director, Justin ChadwickBrian O'Shea, The Exchange CEO, announced today that Chinese super star actor Ye Liu is attached to the upcoming production THE LADY AND THE PANDAS by director, Justin Chadwick (THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL) joining Golden-Globe nominee Rebecca Ferguson (MISSION IMPOSSIBLE franchise) as her love interest.
Through his amazing performances, Ye has captured the attention of directors internationally, and has continued to reach viewers in unique and remarkable ways. Ye's talent has been apparent since his first movie, POSTMAN IN THE MOUNTAINS, which appeared in the Montreal World Film Festival, ultimately leading to his first nomination for Best Supporting Actor at China's 1999 Golden Rooster Awards, and since won a Golden Rooster, Golden Horse and a Golden Goblet Award for Best Actor.
THE LANDY AND THE PANDA original screenplay is penned by Justin Chadwick, Laura Bickford and Holly Gent Palmo based on Ruth Harkness' original detailed correspondence.
THE LADY AND THE PANDA, a UK/ Chinese co-production, is directed by Justin Chadwick (THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL, MANDELA: LONG WALK TO FREEDOM), produced by Academy award nominee Laura Bickford (TRAFFIC, BEASTS OF NO NATION) and Michelle Qi from Europe China Picture Group C.E.O., executive producers are John Lambert (the original GHOSTBUSTERS, SOULTAKER) of Europe China Picture Group,Joe Simpson (TERMINAL, WHY WE'RE KILLING GUNTHER) and D. Todd Shepherd (TERMINAL, QUEEN OF THE DESERT) of Miscellaneous Entertainment, Justin Brodle (Crusoe, FLOOD) and Christopher Brough (TRAIL OF THE PANDA, Reboot) from Pandamotion Picture Company, Andrew Mann (IMPERIUM, LAST KNIGHTS) and Fiona Druckenmiller (BEASTS OF NO NATION).
THE LADY AND THE PANDA is the inspirational true adventure of 1930's New York socialite Ruth Harkness (Ferguson), the first person ever to bring a live giant panda out of China and to the world's attention. When Ruth loses her wealthy explorer husband unexpectedly, she takes over his expedition to China. Ignoring the dictates of society, she joins forces with an unproven but dashing Chinese guide, Quentin Young (Ye). They travel down the Yangtze and deep into the uncharted Himalayas, where, against all odds, they rescue an orphaned baby panda. When Ruth takes it back to the U.S., she creates a nationwide sensation, "Pandamonium!" but before long she realizes these incredible animals are best preserved in their natural habitat.
THE LADY AND THE PANDA will begin filming all over the Sichuan region, in the foothills of the Himalayas in China in November 2016.
The Exchange AFM line-up includes Award winning documentary GLEASON, A STREET CAT NAMED BOB, KICKBOXER: VENGEANCE and RETALIATION and is starting production on two features: Stephanie Laing's IRREPLACEABLE YOU, Justin Chadwick's THE LADY AND THE PANDA and Lin Oeding's OFFICE UPRISING, November'16. 03.11.2016 | American Film Market Dailies's blog Cat. : PEOPLE
