The film adaptation of Chinese author Qiu Xiaolong’s successful Inspector Chen novel series (not to be confused with the Detective Inspector Chen series by Liz Williams) will see Chief Inspector Chen come to life across seven films.
Producers Wieland Schulz-Keil (Neofilm, Berlin), Cordula Paetzel (Schmidt & Paetzel Fernsehfilme, Berlin) and Marian Macgowan (Macgowan Films, Sydney) acquired the rights to all seven novels, written in English and set in Shanghai, and are in negotiations with Chinese distribution, a production house and with international sales agents.
Wieland Schulz-Keil was producer on Children of the Silk Road (2008) and executive producer on The Cat’s Meow (2001). Marian Macgowan produced South Solitary (2010), Blessed (2009) and Two Hands (1999).
The co-production comes on the back of last year’s Australia China Screen Alliance, aimed to facilitate co-productions between the two countries. Other recent Australian-Chinese co-productions include 33 Postcards starring Guy Pearce and directed by Pauline Chan and The Dragon Pearl...

The swizzle stick--part branding platform, part beverage accessory--ensures that no drink goes unadorned.
Created in the West Indies in the 1700s, the Rum Swizzle was historically crafted by rapidly rolling a dried root or stem between one's palms to transform the drink's ingredients (typically, rum, juice, a sweetener such as simple syrup, and ice) into a fine cocktail. That stem was the ancestor of the swizzle stick, now a mainstay of cocktail culture.
Though cocktails' popularity waned in the 1970s, when American wine became widely available, mixed drinks have stormed back in the past 10 years, says Liz Williams, president of the Southern Food & Beverage Museum in New Orleans. The recession has helped. "Whenever the economy's down, other industries suffer, but we do well," says Rachel Pantely, marketing manager at Spirit Foodservice, which patented the swizzle stick in 1935 and now ships 400 million per year. "I guess people have more reason to drink.
