Zhang Yimou (House of Flying Daggers)
Let’s mark this down as another one of those never going to happen ideas (like my whole list) but considering House of Flying Daggers is a personal favorite, Zhang Yimou had to be included on this list. His ability to create visually striking imagery and jaw dropping and gorgeously rendered action would in an ideal world make him an obvious choice. Think about the images he could capture of the arm raining hell down the snowy mountainside, or the fight sequences atop the roof as Mulan is armed with nothing but a fan. His world would be rich, lush and as precise and colorful as a watercolor painting. There’s no reason even to pretend to be hopeful, but a fan can dream.
In a perfect world, who would you choose to direct Mulan ?
