Hollywood has recently gone pretty pedophile with all the 'Children' titles coming our way. We have Children of Men -- sounds perverted, I know; Little Children -- pervert jokes are endless with this one; and now The Children of Huang Shi.
Jonathan Rhys Meyers for The Children of Huang Shi
According to Variety,
Jonathan Rhys Meyers will lead Children. Uhh, let me rephrase. Jonathan Rhys Meyers has been picked up by Sony Classics to star in The Children of Huang Shi; there we go.
Meyers joins a cast that includes Michelle Yeoh, Chow Yun Fat and Radha Mitchell.
Set in war-ravaged China during the late 1930s, The Children of Huang Shi is based on true events. It's the story of a young Englishman, George Hogg (Rhys Meyers), who led 60 orphaned boys on a journey across the Liu Pan Shan mountains to safety on the edge of the Mongolian desert.
Roger Spottiswoode will direct off of a script by Jane Hasksley.
Jonathan Rhys Meyers was recently seen as one of Ethan Hunt's crew in Mission: Impossible III.
Filming for Children of Huang Shi begins on November 13th in the Chinese province of Gansu.
