The movie, "Autumn Remembrance," will
mark the first time in 11 years that Gong has co-worked with Zhang, who directed
her in the 1991 global hit "Raise the Red Lantern."
In the new film to be shot in China, Gong plays an imperial bodyguard who
falls in love with a prince played by "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" (2000)
star Chow in a tragic tale of star-crossed lovers, Daily Variety said.
"Autumn Remembrance" distributed by Elite Group, although no North American
distribution deal has yet been sealed, Variety said.
Chow is currently starring in the Hollywood movie "Pirates of the Caribbean
2" while Gong is making Gong "Memoirs of a Geisha" for "Chicago" director Rob
Marshall.
Zhang and Gong last worked together on 1995's "Shanghai Triad." Zhang went on
to direct "Hero" and last year's Oscar-nominated "House of Flying Daggers."
