Director John Woo's next project will be a martial arts film titled "Jian Nv Jiang Hu" (The Swordswoman's World), in which his daughter Angeles Woo will play a killer, according to producer Terence Chang.

The 100-million-yuan-budget film, which is set to start filming this October in Shanghai, will star South Korean actor Woo-sung Jung and Malaysian actress Michelle Yeoh, the New Beijing Times reports.

Angeles Woo has studied martial arts and Terence Chang believes the role won't be hard too for her.

Angeles Woo, 33, is currently living in the United States. In 2004, her debut film "Coleridge's Couch", which she directed and starred in, entered the short film contest at the 61st Venice International Film Festival.
