Most of Disney's previous live-action remakes have stuck pretty close (arguably too close) to the original animated movies that inspired them, but
Mulan looks set to break tradition with a very different retelling of the Chinese legend.
With no songs, no dragon sidekick and a far more serious tone, producer Jason Reed tells
Empire that fans should expect something closer to a David Lean (
Lawrence of Arabia) or Akira Kurosawa (
Seven Samurai) historical epic.
Check out a new image of star Liu Yifei armored-up and posing as a man to fight with the Imperial Army. We also have the first trailer, poster and all previous stills.
In addition to Liu, the film will star Donnie Yen (
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) as Commander Tung, Jason Scott Lee (
Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story) as Böri Khan, Yoson An
(Ghost Bride) as Cheng Honghui, Gong Li (
Curse of the Golden Flower) as Xianniang and Jet Li (
Hero) as The Emperor.
Acclaimed filmmaker Niki Caro brings the epic tale of China’s legendary warrior to life in Disney’s “Mulan,” in which a fearless young woman risks everything out of love for her family and her country to become one of the greatest warriors China has ever known.
