(03/25/16) Michelle has joined the cast of East Ocean Odyssey (a.k.a. "Ne Zha", Chinese title: "Da Nao Dong Hai", direct translation: "Battle in the East Sea"), a 3D costumed action fantasy based on stories of Ne Zha, a deity/Chinese legendary figure. The film, directed and written by Hong Kong director Jeffrey Lau (A Chinese Odyssey, East Meet West 2011), began shooting in Mainland China this month. (image at left: an early teaser poster (2015))

Ne Zha will be played by the 16 year old Chinese actor Leo Wu (Wu Lei, coincidentally, his first screen role - when he was 5 - was boy Ne Zha in a TV series). Michelle and veteran Chinese actor Zhang Fengyi (The Emperor and the Assassin, Red Cliff) will play Ne Zha's parents, Lady Yin and General Li Jing.

Director and scriptwriter Jeffrey Lau said he wanted to convey traditional Chinese family values through the film.

Visual effect team will be led by Jeff Kleiser whose previous work included X-Men: The Last Stand and Fantastic Four.
