She's a pretty girl but her english acting is dull, no expression. I don't think it was right of them to consider her since this is the first time there has ever been an actual film being based on us!!! It makes me upset, but what right do we have any say in this?I dont want to put your hopes down, but looks like Clint Eastwood has already found a girl to play the role of (SUE). He contacted Chinese actress, Crystal Liu Yi Fei, and ask her to fly to the U.S. for an audition. Crystal Liu Yi Fei is the girl in The Forbidden Kingdom that just came out with Jet Li and Jackie Chan. Looks like this film wont be an "ALL HMONG" cast as we had thought. Come on now, how many Hmong girls can compete with that? Lets just hope the other roles will actually have some Hmong people in it. HOPEFULLY HMONG MINNESOTA GIRLS CAN PROVE CLINT EASTWOOD WRONG AND EVENTUALLY STEAL BACK THE ROLE OF SUE! WERE COUNTING ON YOU SO GO OUT AND PROVE TO THIS OLD MAN THAT HMONG PEOPLE CAN ACT!

did you go to the audition? how was it? what did they have you do?aww... u just missed it. the auditioins were the weekend that just passed.
tat's true...and sorrie to tat actress' fans..she can act in chinese movies but from wat i've seen in the Forbidden Kingdom.. a lot of regular hmong girls i believe can do just as well if not better than her...i tink it's because of the language barrier tat her talent doesn't shine all the way through..just because the director had called the girl to come audition..
that doesn't mean that the role is no long available...
it's an audition?? lol.
did you go to the audition? how was it? what did they have you do?
i'm planning on going when they come to st paul....
