Michelle Yeoh is donning her actress-producer hat again for a stint as a female Robin Hood with a new film, "The Masked Crusader," to be directed by cinematographer-turned-director Jingle Ma, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
"Masked Crusader" is based on the legendary Wong Ngung, who fought for justice for the underdog and was a popular subject of black-and-white films of the 1960s, with many of the top actresses of the time portraying her. This version, set in the year 2009, will be the first time a modern-day film has been made about her.
Principal photography is expected to start in January in Hong Kong, China and Japan.
