Best For Film is inordinately excited to bring you what we believe to be a world exclusive; BAFTA-nominated Malaysian actress Michelle Yeoh is to star in a forthcoming biopic of Burmese pro-democracy leader and Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi.No official information has been released on the film, but our mole tells us that it will focus on Aung San Suu Kyi’s personal experiences rather than be explicitly political.
That’s all we’ve got for now, but to be fair it’s more than anyone else. More on this exciting story as it develops…
EDIT: The biopic is apparently being made by the BBC. We call Benedict Cumberbatch to cameo as General Ne Win!
EDIT: We can reveal that film maker and novelist Rebecca Frayn is the creative power behind the screenplay for the film, which has the working title of The Divided Heart. Best For Film sleuth like you don’t even know.
