Shout! Studios, the distribution and production arm of Shout! Factory, has picked up the North American rights to In Harm’s Way (a.k.a. The Chinese Widow), a World War II period drama starring Emile Hirsch and Crystal Yifei Liu, star of Disney’s upcoming live-action Mulan film. Directed by Bille August (The House of the Spirits), In Harm’s Way will get a day-and-date release sometime this fall.
Written by Greg Latte, the pic is set after the attack on Pearl Harbor when a unit of the U.S. Air Force is forced to make an emergency landing in Zhejiang Province, China. Its commander Jack Turner (Hirsch) barely survives but gets rescued by Ying (Liu), a young Chinese widow who will stop at nothing to hide him from the Japanese military occupants and the atrocities committed during World War II. The two eventually develop a heart-wrenching relationship that transcends cultural and language barriers.
