Ronnie Yu, I wish I had your life.
Quoth Channel News Asia:
Director Ronnie Yu will bring together top Asian actresses Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun, Tang Wei and Michelle Yeoh for his upcoming film "The Lady Generals of the Yang Family" ... "The Lady Generals of the Yang Family" tells of how the women from the Yang family of Song dynasty stepped onto the battlefield to avenge the deaths of their warriors husbands, who died while fighting the invading Xia army after being sold out by a traitorous Song official. The story will reportedly depart significantly from the series of novels it is based on and does not focus too much on the themes of loyalty. Instead, it will focus on the heroism of the titular Lady Generals.

Didn't this site report Gong Li was in "The Grand Master"? It ended up being false.
I bet about half this is true, You can't trust HK media.
His Fearless kicked ass, and I enjoyed his Jason vs. Freddy a lot. I trust the guy, even though I doubt all those stars will be reunited in a movie... And this casting seems a little too much Occident-pleasing IMHO.
The producers have apparently denied that any of this casting is finalized though they do confirm that there are offers out there ...
