DISNEY TO PRODUCE CHINESE HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL

Disney is planning to film a Chinese version of its hit High School Musical in Shanghai this year after receiving an OK to do so from the Chinese government. The Associated Press reported that by producing the film with two Chinese film companies, Disney will be able to bypass China's restriction allowing only 20 foreign films to be shown in the country each year. The wire service called the choice of Chen Shizheng to direct the movie "unusual," given the fact that he is principally known as a stage director.
