Hollywood beckons Chinese director

Lu Chuan, whose Nanjing Massacre film City of Life and Death was a big hit at this year's Chinese box office, has made his first foray into Hollywood by signing with the influential Creative Artists Agency (CAA).

Tinseltown's leading agency, which already has such heavyweight clients as Steven Spielberg, Brad Pitt and Will Smith, signed 38-year-old Lu a few weeks ago, he revealed at the Shanghai International Film Festival.
