"Shanghai" Returns to Shanghai

Yes, after first denying a shooting permit, the Chinese film authority greenlit the film "Shanghai" to return to Shanghai to continue the shoot. I learned the news today.

I've been working on the script side of the production for some time now. I didn't write the script but was hired to help "improve" it. Won't be getting a writing credit but my contract warrants that my name will appear within the top ten spots in the end credits.

It's a Weinstein Company's production and stars John Cusack, Gong Li, Ken Watanabe and Chow Yun-Fat. The entire crew is shooting in London at this moment. Still waiting for word when or if they will return to Shanghai to wrap up the production there.
