Word has it that Ronny Yu has dropped out of the directors chair for the live action
adaptation of BLOOD: THE LAST VAMPIRE. According to Variety Asia, Korean beauty Jun
Ji-hyun, who starred in "Daisy" and "My Sassy Girl," has taken the plunge by using the
Italian-sounding moniker Gianna Jun. The new name gets its first credit roll in BLOOD THE
LAST VAMPIRE, the $35 million vampire actioner now being helmed by France's Chris Nahon
("Empire of the Wolves," "Kiss of the Dragon"). The English-language pic heads the Cannes
slate of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero" producer Bill Kong and his Hong
Kong-based Edko Films company. Screenplay is by Chris Chow and action sequences are
overseen by Corey Yuen. On a different scale Edko is also repping "Secret," a $2.5 million
romance that marks the directorial and scripting debut of Taiwanese pop star Jay Chou.
Chou, who starred in "Curse of the Golden Flower," toplines the pic opposite "Blue Gate
Crossing" actress Guey Lun-Mei.
