Antoine Fuqua on Board to Direct Yang Guifei Biopic

For the past two years, a film about the legendary Yang Guifei, an imperial concubine who lived during the Tang Dynasty, has been developing without a director. However, that problem has been resolved.

The Hollywood Reporter brings news that Antoine Fuqua, who’s perhaps most famous for his Oscar-winning film Training Day, will helm the $30 million film. The film, that still doesn’t have a title, accounts for Yang’s romance with Emperor Xuanzong, whose monarchy lasted longer than any other in the Tang Dynasty.



Fuqua’s also got the Tupac biopic to direct. Sounds like he’ll be busy for quite a while.

How do you feel about Antoine Fuqua directing this biopic?
