As you all know, we love Lisa See’s books.  We’ve talked about Shanghai Girls before, so it’s no surprised that we are extremely excited when we found out Fox Searchlight picked up the Snow Flower and Secret Fan’s movie distribution rights for the States.  Wayne Wang is the director of this movie, and one of his best known work is The Joy Luck Club.  In this movie, Hugh Jackman also has a small appearance performing a song.  Double Yum, looove Hugh Jackman.

Anyway, the book is set in the 19th century, chronicles the lives of two women, Lily and Snow Flower, and their lifelong, intimate friendship.  It tells the story of their imprisonment by rigid cultural codes of conduct for women.  It is an English language film, with Chinese actress Li Bingbing, and Korean actress Jeon Ji-hyeon.  We will definitely keep you posted on when it will come out!  Can’t wait.
