De Niro and his Tribeca partner, Jane Rosenthal, have teamed with Universal Studios to produce the film about communism, Mao-Tse Toung, and China.
The film will be based on the story by Roy Rowan. He was one of the only journalist with first-hand experience of the events taking place in China during the 1949 revolution.
There is currently no date for the beginning of filming of the project.
