The sexy CROUCHING TIGER whirlwind will reportedly be starring in an upcoming movie called… LAUNDRY WARRIOR. A tentative title, one would hope. The film stars popular Korean actor Jang Dong-Gun (TAE GUK GI: BROTHERHOOD OF WAR) as a wandering Old West laundryman/swordsman defending a lost town of circus performers from a gang of evil bandits. Ziyi will play the love interest who will no doubt have a few tricks and kicks in her arsenal.
The $30 million feature is currently casting carnies (including a fire-breather, bearded lady and tiny black man) for an intended October start date. Ziyi will next be seen with Dennis Quaid in the supernatural thriller THE HORSEMEN.
