Liu Yifei Cast As Mulan In Disney's Live-Action Film

THR is reporting Chinese actress Liu Yifei , also known as Crystal Liu , is set to play the lead in the live-action adaptation directed by Niki Caro. After a yearlong worldwide search, Mulan has been found. A team of casting directors visited five continents and saw nearly 1,000 candidates for the role, which requires credible martial arts skills, the ability to speak English and the most ineffable requirement of all: star quality. In deference to cultural accuracy, the studio focused on locating an ethnically Chinese young woman to play Hua Mulan, who disguised herself as a man to take her father's army conscription in 5th century China. In Liu, Disney found the complete package. Nicknamed "Fairy Sister" by the Chinese public for her pure and innocent looks and image, she has been one of the country's most popular actresses of the current generation since breaking out with a series of hit television dramas in the mid-2000s, while she was still a teenager en

Movie Review: Outcast

The Medieval China action tale is too short and silly for us to care. Review by Matt Cummings The careers of both Actors Hayden Christensen and Nicholas Cage seem to be headed these days in the same direction: down. Destroyed by his experiences in the Star Wars prequels, Christensen is a ship without a rudder, an actor that could have been something, had his choices not been so terribly misguided. For Cage, it's a career first marked by brilliance (Raising Arizona), then incredible mainstream success ( The Rock , Con Air ), then incredible folly (Ghost Rider, Season of the Witch , etc etc). Therefore it's only fitting that both find themselves in the direct-to-VOD/Blu-ray snoozer Outcast , an unremarkable film with merely decent action by a stunt-man-turned-director. The Crusades-weary knight Jacob (Christensen) is haunted by his wartime wrongdoings, a victim as much as those he murdered during those wars. Urged by his mentor Gallain (Cage), Jacob decides to fle
