Sony Pictures Classics has picked up North American and Latin American rights to "House of Flying Daggers" director Zhang Yimou's martial-arts romantic drama "Curse of the Golden Flower" says The Hollywood Reporter.
The feature, shooting in China, follows the medieval saga of a dysfunctional royal family led by a king (Chow Yun-Fat) and queen (Gong Li) engaging in power struggles with their three sons and each other.
Zhang's "Daggers" and "Hero" action choreographer Tony Ching Siu-Tung returns for similar duties in this film. No release date is yet set.
