'RED FLAG' EPIC SERIES
DYLAN MCDERMOTT & MAGGIE Q?
We're going a bit Asian today, people. The first Asian related piece of news comes from new historical show we've been anxiously awaiting for a year now and now it seems it is moving on with the production: Maggie Q's epic series RED FLAG about the queen of pirates is to be penned by famous David Franzoni (GLADIATOR) and could also possibly star Maggie's fiance and STALKER co-star Dylan McDermott as an American Revolutionary. Francois Arnaud has already been announced as Carlito, the Portuguese sailor and bounty hunter engaged to hunt down and capture Ching Shih who becomes her lover.
QUEEN OF CHINESE PIRATES
Set in the early 1800s, RED FLAG follows Ching Shih (Maggie Q), a beautiful young Chinese prostitute who goes on to become one of history’s most powerful pirates and head of the most successful crime syndicate in
Canton China. With over 100,000 sailors and 1500-plus
vessels, Ching controlled the South China Sea while taking on the
Imperial Chinese navy, the Portuguese navy, and the all powerful British
navy to eventually conquer them all.

'MANHATTAN LOVE STORY'
WITH ADRIEN BRODY AND NI NI
After starring in record breaking Chinese Roman epic DRAGON BLADE (which earned more than $120 million in China this year) Adrien Brody will join stunning Chinese star Ni Ni (you probably remember her starring next to Hollywood star Christian Bale in Zhang Yimou's Oscar contender epic drama FLOWERS OF WAR) in romantic movie MANHATTAN LOVE STORY to be shot in New York with Chinese producers with the $15 million film to be released on both markets and world wide as well. The plot of MANHATTAN LOVE STORY centres on a pair who are from far different lands and backgrounds — he’s Italian, she’s Chinese. They
meet through a series of comedic and touching moments centred on their cultural differences and fall in love in modern New York City.
Maggie Q looks ageless. Gorgeous as always. I had no idea, They're together in real life -Maggie and Dylan McDermott ? Manhattan Love Story looks and sounds like a film to look forward to.
