\n<\/b><\/p>\nShooting has already begun near the eastern city of Ningbo; the film\u2019s Chinese producers said Gibson would travel to China next month and serve as \u201csupervisor of direction.\u201d \u201cThe Bombing\u201d is directed by Xiao Feng and will feature Hong Kong actors Nicholas Tse and William Chan, along with South Korea\u2019s Song Seung-heon.<\/p>\n
Besides Gibson, several other Oscar winners, including 85-year-old cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond (\u201cClose Encounters of the Third Kind\u201d) and sound editor Richard L. Anderson (who received a special Academy Award for \u201cRaiders of the Lost Ark\u201d) have also been recruited as advisors\u00a0on the movie.<\/p>\n
Gibson will travel to China before heading to Australia for pre-production work on his next directorial effort, \u201cHacksaw Ridge,\u201d said his publicist, Alan Nierob. “Hacksaw” too is a World War II-era story, starring Andrew Garfield as a medic and conscientious objector who was awarded the Medal of Honor.<\/p>\n
Shi Jianxiang, the primary investor on the project, said he was plowing about $56 million into the production. Gibson was invited to participate because he is \u201cresourceful and smart,\u201d is \u201cvery interested in that piece of history\u201d and \u201cproposed many ideas we appreciate,\u201d said Shi, who is chairman of the board of Shanghai Kuailu Investment Group.<\/p>\n
Gibson\u2019s name will no doubt be used to help market the film in China; he is well known here for \u201cBraveheart\u201d and numerous other movies. Producers are also hoping to secure international distribution for \u201cThe Bombing,\u201d though no deals have yet been made.<\/p>\n
An increasing number of Hollywood directors are attaching themselves to Chinese productions. \u201cFast & Furious 6\u201d director Justin Lin served as producer and writer on \u201cHollywood Adventures,\u201d a $30-million Chinese comedy set in Los Angeles that hit mainland theaters on Friday.<\/p>\n
Last week, \u201cTwilight\u201d director Catherine Hardwicke announced in Beijing that she had signed on to direct \u201cLoulan,\u201d a historical romantic epic set in what is now western China. That film is a U.S.-China co-production backed by Village Roadshow Pictures Asia.<\/p>\n
Nicole Liu in the Times Beijing bureau contributed to this report.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
