Vietnamese French director Tran Anh Hung is producing a film entitled “I come with the rain”, with the participation of famous Hollywood and Asian actors.

“I come with the rain” is the first English-speaking film by Tran Anh Hung, with Josh Hartnett playing the lead. This is the first film Tran Anh Hung has made, after Mua he chieu thang dung (The vertical ray of the sun) eight years ago.

Josh Hartnett, 30, has starred in over 20 films, including The Black Dahlia (2006), Sin City (2005), Black Hawk Down (2001) and Pearl Harbor (2001).

Besides Josh Hartnett, “I come with the rain” will also feature famous Asian actors Lee Byung Hun (South Korea), Takuya Kimura (Japan), Shawn Yue (Hong Kong) and his wife Tran Nu Yen Khe.

The film is about Kline (Hartnett), a former policeman in Los Angeles, who has become a private detective. Kline is hired to go to the Philippines to see Shitao (Takuya Kimura), a lost son of a billionaire. The search leads Kline to Hong Kong, where he meets his old friend, also a policeman (Yue). He then faces off with gangster Su Dongpo (Byung Hun) and his girlfriend (Yen Khe).

The film is being shot in Los Angeles, the Philippines and Hong Kong. It is scheduled to appear in theatres this autumn. It is rumored that “I come with the rain” will be introduced at the Cannes Film Festival 2008.
