"She has immense talent and is always captivating on screen," the director said. "I had an opportunity to meet her a while back and knew instantly that I had to work with her, so as we began writing the script I made sure to create a role specifically for her."

"He's a fantastic actor and I'm looking forward to having the chance to work with him again.
"And, quite simply, Tao is a striking presence whose beauty is aptly rivalled by her amazing abilities as an actress. I'm really excited to have her joining us on this adventure."
