Snow and the Seven

If you think the title is a variation on "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", you are correct! It appears that there are already competing projects to remake, in various forms, "Show White". And now, along comes Disney with a third version of this, which has been titled "Snow and the Seven". And get this, it will be set in China!

The unique project, which Disney has been developing since 2002, centers on a 19th century Englishwoman who returns to her Hong Kong home for her father's funeral, only to discover that her stepmother is plotting against her. She escapes to mainland China, finding solace among a rogue band of seven international warriors.

Now, can they make it as clever and as stunning as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"? I think a very strong adult slant to this movie would be very interesting.
