Earlier this week, Disney announced that they are working on a live-action adaptation of their 1998 movie "Mulan". "Mulan" is in my Top-3 Disney Animation movies, if not #1. My favorite part is the song "I'll Make A Man Out Of You".
Reportedly, Disney offered the director's role to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" director Ang Lee, who turned it down. So Disney is continuing their search for a Chinese director to take the helm. I have a suggestion, someone who was associated with the animated "Mulan" and who has a lot of directing experience though that is not what they are primarily know for.
Jackie Chan was the speaking and singing voice for Li Shang in the 1998 "Mulan", and he has directed 15 movies in China. He also could portray Mulan's father Fa Zhou.
I hope that Disney is at least considering Chan for the director's job. But I trust that whoever the hire will be the right person for the job.
