It is hoped that Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi will star in a Hollywood disaster movie this year, depicting the San Francisco earthquake of 1906.

Mark. Harris, producer of the movie Crash says that they are preparing for the movie. The US$150 million production will include leading roles for Chinese characters, and they hope to attract the services of Zhang Ziyi.

The film, dubbed the Asian-American Titanic, will coincidentally also feature Leonardo DiCaprio as its leading actor.

If Zhang Ziyi accepts the invitation, she will be the first Asian actress to collaborate with the American star.
