In what looks to be a first for a wholly financed local Chinese film production, a truly high profile actor - Kevin Spacey - has taken a part in Dayyan Eng's black comedy Inseparable.
Spacey will play an American expat in China who befriends a young man (Daniel Wu) going through troubles at home and at work.
Eng, who is originally from the US but lives in Beijing, has written the script and will start calling the shorts this month in Southern China.
