Taiwan model eyes film project

Taiwan model/actress Lin Chi-ling (pictured left) has joined hands with mainland actor Sun Honglei (pictured) to star in a Chinese version of Indiana Jones.

Tentatively entitled Battle in Shama Town (Juezhan Shamazhen), the black comedy tells of how Lin and Sun's team fight with several other treasure hunters in a desert in West China.

Since her big screen debut in John Woo's Red Cliff (Chi Bi), Taiwan's No 1 model has been working hard to be as famous in the film industry.

She also stars in The Treasure Hunter (Ci Ling), appearing with iconic Taiwan singer Jay Chou. The film will open in December.

Although her performance in Red Cliff was not widely acclaimed and some still categorize her as just a pretty face, Lin has won support from Sun and director Li Weiran, who says she is the best and only choice for the role.

The film will premiere next summer.
