I came across this titled article today about the impossible-made- possible from Variety Magazine. A reimagining of the great Detective Charlie Chan series, with Chinese-American actor Tzi Ma playing the sleuth! Here’s a short excerpt from the online article!
“Ma, known for “Mulan,” “Kung Fu” and “Interior Chinatown,” will executive produce and star in the title role. Chong, whose credits include “Interview With the Vampire,” “American Crime Story” and “The Color Purple,” will play Detective Joyous Green. Wu (“Alien: Romulus”) will portray Faye Chan, Charlie’s daughter.”
The series is set in Canada with Chan retiring from the Vancouver Police department to launch a private investigation agency. Guess it’s not definitive yet, as creators will present the package to international buyers at Series Mania Forum in France as part of Telefilm Canada’s Canada Pavilion. Read all about it here:
