Japan Follows 'Shaolin Soccer' with 'Shaolin Girl'

Stephen Chow is busy working on his upcoming film 'CJ7' (also known as 'A Hope'), but he is serving as producer on a new Japanese film which is inspired by his 2001 worldwide hit 'Shaolin Soccer'.  The Japanese version, which Chow does no appear in, switches the story to that of a high school girl in Japan, who shows the power of Shaolin Kungfu on the field hockey field, amongst other places. 

The lead is Shibasaki Kou, a singer/actress who debuted in 2000's 'Battle Royale'.  The film is scheduled for a release in May 2008.
