Yuen Wo Ping To Direct 'Snow And The Seven'

[Friday, October 29th, 2004]
The Matrix choreographer Yuen Wo Ping is to make his English-language directorial debut on Walt Disney's Snow and the Seven, says the Hollywood Reporter.

The feature, written by Pulitzer prize-winning author Michael Chabon, is said to be an East-meets-West retelling of the classic 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'.

The story will be set in 1880s British colonial China and will have fantasy and martial arts elements, with the 'seven' being Shaolin monks. The story also will hearken back to aspects of the original Grimm Brothers' fairy tale.
