This would mark the return Far East of the critically acclaimed actor after his film debut in Steven Spielberg's Empire of the Sun.

Bale will be playing a missionary in 1930's Nanjing during the infamous massacre. The story will be based on a novella which tells the story of a group of young people seeking refuge along with Chinese soldiers during the turmoil.

This will be the first time that the famous fifth-generation director Zhang Yimou will be working with Christian Bale. Shooting began in January.

China is home to the famous legend of the Yuren, China's version of the North American Sasquatch. In seeking the same multi-million dollar success that James Cameron's 3D epic Avatar had in the past year in China, it has been announced that a 3D film that will feature the cryptozoological creature is currently in production. The film will cost around US$15 million and will be financed by a Beijing company.

 

U.S. scientists have sought the renowned beast for decades, the last thorough search occurring 30 years ago.
