Well, what can you say?

Zhang Ziyi? Where in the world has she been the last few years? It seems like she faded away after Memoirs of a Geisha....well at least in America. Not sure if she's been working in China though.

She's made 9 movies since Memoirs.

I like the idea of a more realistic version, but what the hell is the point of making it English-language if the Disney version is already in English?

 

[Ratcrawler]

I'll see it.

Didn't they make another Mulan version a few years ago in China?

This needs to be in it :

Last year, actually.

Last year, actually.

Ironically, Zhang Ziyi was up for the role in that, too.

Initially I thought this was a stupid idea, but then a thought struck me and after a quick Google search, I discovered that Mulan is an actual story and not just a Disney attempt at being multicultural, so I no longer think that this is stupid and my reaction has changed from head-shaking indifference to plain old indifference.

This sounds promising. IDK about Ziyi though, she used to be 1 of my favorite actresses but after wasting my money on "Legend of the Black Scorpion" I'm a little hesitant to see this.
