Michelle Yeoh might become Aung San Suu Kyi

Hong Kong-based superstar Michelle Yeoh met with Aung San Suu Kyi in Myanmar on Monday and again on Tuesday at the airport in Yangon as part of research for Yeoh's possible role in a biopic about the democracy leader.

During their meeting, Yeoh showed Suu Kyi "some production stills on her camera from the movie in which she had dressed like Aung San Suu Kyi. The two of them look very much alike and have a similar build," said Nyan Win, spokesman for Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy opposition party.

According to the Bangkok Post, the movie is titled "Dans la Lumiere" and will be directed by Luc Besson. A French production team is already wrapping up location shooting in Thailand, which will stand for Myanmar in the movie.
