Mulan - First photos of the live action version

These photos show Zhao Wei (Vicki Zhao Wei) as Mulan, the folk heroine in the warrior costumes. Now Twitch spotted these photos over on Sina. I do like the story of Mulan although most of my knowledge of it is through the Disney version of the film.
Production is currently ongoing at the Hebei province.
