(FROM VARIETY) – Ken Watanabe (The Last Sumarai) joins John Cusack and Gong Li in Shanghai, a period drama that Mikael Hafstrom (1408) is directing for the Weinstein Co. The story, set in 1941, follows an American who returns to a corrupt, Japan-occupied Shanghai to discover his friend has been killed. While trying to solve the murder, he falls in love and discovers a much larger secret that his own government is hiding. Shooting is scheduled to start in China next month. (Variety)
