French film director Luc Besson has quietly resumed filming his biopic about Aung San Suu Kyi in Paris with Michelle Yeoh. Filming started on the movie about the Burmese opposition leader last year and Deadline Hollywood claims it has resumed in Paris. It’s been reported Besson has been trying to keep filming on The Lady as quiet as possible because of the political situation after Suu Kyi’s release from prison in November. Besson has been shooting the movie in Oxford, England, as well as Bangkok, Thailand, and it is claimed they were filming in Bangkok on the day of Suu Kyi’s release two months ago. The movie follows Suu Kyi’s decision whether to fly back to England and look after her dying husband, who will be played by David Thewlis, or continue fighting for Burma’s democracy.
