Yun-Fat Philosophy

Chow Yun-Fat is set to play ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius in a forthcoming biopic reports Variety.



Backed by the Chinese government, teachings of the 5th Century BC philosopher were virtually banned during the Cultural Revolution but are undergoing a major revival in newly consumerist China for his teachings on morals and character.

Hu Mei is set to call the shots. Production is starting later this month at Hebei province and at Hengdian studios. A late 2009 release is targeted to mark the 60th anniversary of the People's Republic of China and the philosopher's 2,560th birthday
