Sony hires “Game of Thrones” helmer to direct “Mulan”October 18, 2016 - 12:15 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Sony Pictures has set Alex Graves to direct Mulan, its live-action adaptation of the Chinese legend based on Hua Mulan, the young female warrior who takes her ailing father’s place in the Chinese Imperial Army, Deadline reports. There are two live-action versions of Mulan, but this one is being designed for the international marketplace so it pace won’t necessarily be determined by progress on the Disney film — this pic is a Chinese co-production, there will be a Chinese lead, and the film will be done through Sony Pictures International Productions. The Sony film is scripted by Jason Keller and produced by Doug Belgrad, whose 2.0 Entertainment will be a co-financier and producer of the film. Graves has been directing some of the hottest TV series episodes from Game Of Thrones to Homeland, Bloodline and Shameless.
