Kelly Hu has been speaking with
SciFi-Wire about her role in the upcoming vampire film
Jade. According to Hu, the script is currently being written and is based on the Chaos! Comics series for producer Gale Anne Hurd (The Hulk)
"The comic is actually about a [4,000-year-old] vampire who lives in China, and she has incredible martial-arts skills," Hu said. "She has a really interesting sidekick, a woman named Silence, who doesn't speak. And, like, a little goblin who follows her around as well."
Hu adds that there is no start date for the production yet. "I don't know exactly how it's going to be written, because a lot of this stuff changes when it comes to script. It's being written now. All of this stuff is real, real preliminary."
Hu says that Ronny Yu (
Freddy vs. Jason) could still be attached to direct. "I think so," she said. "I'm not sure. I think he's still planning on doing it, as far as I know."
Kelly Hu can next be seen as Lady Deathstrike in Fox's
X-Men 2 due out May 2nd.
