The “Thompson on Hollywood” blog on Variety reports about the latest developments with The Weinstein Co.’s Asian Film Fund.
While most of the article is about The Forbidden Kingdom, the first Asian Film Fund project to see the light of day, the article also mentions that the filming of the new Seven Samurai remake is to start in the last quarter of 2008.
It seems the film has had the green light, according to Variety and the Guardian.
