Jang Dong-gun faces his Hollywood debut and is joined by the beautiful Kate Bosworth!
The filming of "Laundry Warrior" is finally underway.
After Zhang Ziyi pulled out of the movie, the film struggled to find a new leading lady... They were lucky enough to get Kate Bosworth!

In the movie, Bosworth plays a strong character who dreams of revenge.
Jang Dong-gun has been studying his English since the end of last year and really put his heart and soul into prepping for the film.

His lines are in English, his actions are real, AND he falls in love with Kate Bosworth - IN the movie, of course!

"Laundry Warrior" began filming in December and its release in theaters is tentatively set for winter, 2008.

Although there were a series of small problems, "Laundry Warrior" is on its way!

Best of luck to Jang Dong-gun.

Wow is all I gotta say to this. She really does love AM's - http://proaznisalyingwh0re.blogspot.com/

That's really cool

what's the concept

Is it a Hollywood studio production ?

what are the chances of a direct to DVD ??

I dont see major studios backing this one

say ahhhh...

AWESOME!!

Point of clarification...

Jang's character falls in love with Kate Bosworth's character, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's reciprocated, does it?

We'll have to see how this is executed before we celebrate.

Excellent, but cautiously optimistic. Jury still out until it gets seen.

Next time you're washing your undies at the local launderette, watch out for two of Hollywood's biggest stars.

Kate Bosworth, who played Lois Lane in Superman Returns and a surfer babe in Blue Crush, and Geoffrey Rush, star of Shine, Shakespeare In Love, and Pirates of the Caribbean, are in town to start shooting fantasy action movie Laundry Warrior on Monday in West Auckland.

Okay, so the pair will more than likely stay at a fancy hotel and get their laundry done there but those Lord of the Rings actors got down with the locals when they were here, so you never know.

Bosworth arrived last Thursday but it was not known whether Rush had arrived yet.

Laundry Warrior, with a budget of $52 million, also stars Korean actor Jang Dong-gun as Yang, an Asian warrior hiding out in the badlands of America's mid-west.

The story revolves around Yang, who has made a new life for himself as a laundryman in America.

Word on the street is that the film will be a samurai movie meets western mix, with stylised special effects giving it an anime meets 300 feel.

Rush, who also plays Queen Elizabeth's "spymaster" Walsingham in Elizabeth: The Golden Age will be the town drunk in Laundry Warrior, and Bosworth plays a circus knife-thrower.

The 24-year-old Superman star replaced Chinese actress and Memoirs of a Geisha star Zhang Ziyi who was originally cast as female lead until filming dates were changed.

Lord of the Rings producer Barrie Osborne, who divides his time between shooting films in New Zealand and overseas projects, will produce the movie, to be shot at Henderson Valley Studios.

Casting Kate instead of Zhang Ziyi is a much better idea tbh.
