Variety announced this morning that Donnie Yen has just signed on to star in PAINTED SKIN, a supernatural action flick set to film in China later this year. Based on the series of Chinese classic stories “Strange Tales of Liaozhai”, SKIN is about a love hate relationship between a vixen spirit and a group of humans. Intrigued yet?

Directed by by Wilson Yip Wai-shun and Andy Chin Wing-keung, the $10M flick is still searching for it’s female lead. While the actual storyline doesn’t sound very fun, I did find out something very interesting with regards to this flick. Apparently ghosts don’t make it to the big screen in China very often, as censors are worried it will upset the masses. Really? Man, and I thought the MPAA was harsh!

Anyway, to read up on all the details, click HERE, and stick around for that lead female role to be cast as we hear it!
