Ang Lee to Direct Lust, Caution for Focus

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Oscar winner Ang Lee will work again with longtime collaborator James Schamus of Focus Features to make the WWII-era spy thriller, Lust, Caution. Set in Shanghai, the Chinese-language feature is being written by Wang Hui-Ling, the screenwriter who co-wrote Lee's Eat Drink Man Woman and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The movie is being adapted from a short story by the late Chinese author Eileen Chang. Lee and Schamus have collaborated on nine films together so far, with Brokeback Mountain serving as Focus Features' all-time top-grossing film. No word yet on the plot details of this espionage movie, but I already thrill to the plot intrigues, romance, set design, and period costumes that will be under Lee's assured directorial vision.
