(Empire Online) -- The fact that Disney has just picked up the rights to an all-American teen film would hardly seem a cause for universally elevated eyebrows, however, the nature of this little slice of Californian life is something out of the ordinary. The film is described as a cross between Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and, er… Clueless.
At this point you're probably wondering whether two more disparate titles can be said to exist and we'd be forced to agree that the answer is no, probably not. Nevertheless, Fate of the Blade will soon be going into production. The film centres on an adopted Asian-American girl who grows up in a middle class, white family in the San Fernando Valley. Little do they know, however, that the girl is the sole surviving member of a Japanese samurai clan, and, oh and there's an ancient demon after her.
Don't be surprised to see wire-work-assisted acrobatics as the cheerleading squad wield their pom-poms in a deadly dance of death and see hapless co-eds eviscerated with precision for wearing last season's boot-cut hipsters. Like, totally, master.
