The screen play will be written by a famous American screenwriter William McDorald, who majored in international relationship at the Georgetown University and was good at study of world history.
With his father as a soldier in the Second World War, William McDorald had read a great amount of historical materials and datas and books, particularly that written by Iris Chang, on the Nanjing Massacre before he visited the Massacre museum in the city in March this year.
"We hope we can make the film a World War II classic just like 'Schindler's List,"' said American producer Gerald Green
"This film will be epic in scope but also an intimate portrait of two women - one, a mother of a traditional Chinese family and the other, a real historical figure, the heroic American educator Minnie Vautrin,"

Anybody actually read these stories?
From the China Daily story:The screen play will be written by a famous American screenwriter William McDorald, who majored in international relationship at the Georgetown University and was good at study of world history.

Famous American screenwriter William McDonald? ROME is a good series and all, but the writers of the article seem to find more justification in his hire because his father was in the war, he read a bunch of history books, and he visited the Nanjing Memorial. And that makes him more qualified than a Chinese screenwriter how exactly?
That means the story will focus on an American who falls in love with a Chinese woman but tragically loses her in the turmoil, then reminisces over a cup of Earl Grey.
