Peter Chan Fulfills Father’s Shanghai Dreams With ‘She’s Got No Name,’ After Decade-Long Journey From Script to Screen: ‘It Got Personal’
Peter Chan reveals the decade-long journey behind 'She's Got No Name,' from a four-hour cut to two-part release with Shanghai government support.
The project began in 2015 when Chan received a complete screenplay (by Shi Ling, Jiang Feng, Shang Yang and Pan Yi-ran) based on a real 1945 murder case that spanned nearly six decades of Chinese history. Based on one of China’s most famous unsolved murder cases, the film centers on Zhan-Zhou (Zhang Ziyi), a wife charged with the bloody dismemberment of her husband during the Japanese occupation of Shanghai in the 1940s – a killing that seems impossible for her to have committed alone. The cast also includes Wang Chuanjun, Jackson Yee, Zhao Liying, Lei Jiayin, Yang Mi, Da Peng, Li Xian, Fan Wei, Sha Yi, and Zhang Zifeng.
