Wang Jinsong, deputy head of the Performance Institute at Beijing Film Academy, will direct the movie, The Angry Bunnies, a live-action romance comedy.
The feature-length movie is based on the fairy tale A Bunny Has a Glass Heart, which has gone viral since it was released online in 2012.
Wang, also a veteran acting teacher with a career spanning 28 years, says that the actors will be selected from the students he has taught over the past three decades.
