John Woo, the man behind such classic action films as The Killer and Hard Boiled, will direct Flying Tigers, a World War II drama which will be shot as a two-part feature film and six-hour television series. The project will be co-financed by Holland-based Cyrte Investments and China Film Group.
The announcement was made during the Beijing International Film Festival.
"Flying Tigers is a project that I have always wanted to do, because this is a story that expresses the courage, resourcefulness, friendship, and spirit of both the Chinese and American people and pilots. It promotes friendship between the two nations," Woo said.
Woo's period epic Red Cliff was also released as two-part film in China. However, in the United States Red Cliff was released theatrically as a single film.
Note: Red Cliff is already out on Blu-ray in the United States and the United Kingdom. See our listings and reviews of these releases here and here.
