A series of posters for Japanese director Shunji Iwai's new work Last Letter was released revealing the upcoming film's lead actress and executive producer.
Featuring the Japanese director, Chinese actress Zhou Xun and Hong Kong director Peter Chan - the film's director, lead actress and executive producer respectively - standing together as they look off into the distance or walking by the ocean, the posters also seem to be paying tribute to Iwai's previous works as they bear a remarkable similarity to the posters for his classic films Love Letter (1995), April Story (1998) and Picnic (1996).
The film will focus on a Chinese woman named Zhihua (Zhou), a key figure to resolving a conflict that has lasted three generations, Chinese media reported.
Iwai is a well-known name in China as his films including Love Letter, Hana & Alice (2004) and All About Lily Chou-Chou (2001) number among the best cinematic memories shared by Chinese movie lovers born in 1980s and 1990s.
The release date of the film has yet to be announced.
