Tow production stills taken on the location of The Children of Huang Shi have been distributed to the Chinese press by the film’s Chinese producer Cheerland Entertainment Organization. According to Variety, Set in war-ravaged China during the late 1930s, “Huang Shi” is based on true events. It’s the story of a young Englishman, George Hogg, who led 60 orphaned boys on a journey across the Liu Pan Shan mountains (Liupan Mountains) to safety on the edge of the Mongolian desert. The real-life George Hogg died from tetanus in 1945, a year after he escorted the children to safety. Irish-born actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers (Mission: Impossible III, Match Point, Ride with the Devil) plays George Hogg and Australian actress Radha Mitchell (Silent Hill, Melinda and Melinda, Finding Neverland) plays a nurse helping Hogg. Chow Yun-Fat plays a resistance fighter who returns to his homeland after the Japanese invasion and Michelle Yeoh plays village woman. Roger Spottiswoode (The 6th Day, Tomorrow Never Dies, Hiroshima) is directing the project with the script penned by Jane Hawksley. The project's producers include Arthur Cohn (Les Choristes, One Day in September, Central Station), Martin Hagemann (Old Love, The Flying Scotsman, Creep), Peter Loehr (Air, Sunflower, Shower), Wieland Schulz-Keil (Sister Smile, The Cat's Meow, Twister) and Jonathan Shteinman (Like Minds, The Night We Called It a Day, Rabbit-Proof Fence).
 

In June last year, Brendan Fraser announced he would play the lead character in the project, once titled The Bitter Sea, which would go into production in November 2005. Fraser later quit the project for some reason unknown and the filming did not begin until the 13th this month. The production is currently taking place at China's northwestern Gansu Province, where the story occurs. More filming will be done at Hengdian World Studios of eastern China, Shanghai and Melbourne Australia. This Chinese-Australian-German production is aiming at a worldwide release in 2008.
