JACK MA, founder of Alibaba Group, who just became the richest man in China thanks to his company’s record-breaking IPO-offering on the New York Stock Exchange, could next become the subject of a movie. Producer Janet Yang is looking to set up an international co-production focusing on Ma and his life.

    Bruce Feirstein has written a script for Yang called “Alibaba,” the name of Ma’s group of Internet-based e-commerce businesses.

    Yang, who has worked with Oliver Stone and produced such films as Milos Forman’s “The People vs. Larry Flynt,” has been working in China, where she has produced such films as 2012’s “Shanghai Calling,” directed by Daniel Hsia. Feirstein, whose writing credits include such James Bond movies as 1995’s “Golden Eye” and 1999’s “The World Is Not Enough,” has also been working in China, where he produced the 2009 film “Red River.”(SD-Agencies)
