How did Confucius become one of the greatest philosophers of all time?
Chinese director Hu Mei offers her answer in an upcoming biopic of the ancient
legend.
Hu Mei will begin shooting the film "Confucius" in September, the director
announced at a press conference yesterday.
She said a leading actor would play Confucius, while keeping his name under
wraps.
Khan Chan, one of the screenwriters for John Woo's "Red Cliff," has written
the script for "Confucius."
The film is estimated to have a budget of 150 million yuan (US$21.9
million).
