Her work on the DC adventure makes her the first Asian woman to direct a superhero genre film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Watch the film\u2019s trailer at <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Uc4P_WqLBpg\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/Uc4P_WqLBpg<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yan is a filmmaker known for her distinct aesthetic, darkly humorous tone and love for subverting typical genre rules and telling unconventional stories. Her debut film, \u201cDead Pigs,\u201d which she wrote and directed, won the Special Jury Prize for ensemble acting at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival, among several other accolades. The film, which is set in Shanghai, came to fruition after she read a news story about 16,000 dead pigs mysteriously floating down the Huangpu River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She studied at Princeton University, where she earned her BA, and New York University, where she received a dual MFA and MBA in film. Previously, she was a reporter for the Wall Street Journal in New York, Hong Kong and China, and brings her sharp, journalistic instincts to her filmmaking. Yan was born in China and is currently based in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI couldn\u2019t have asked for a more supportive creative team, they were amazing,\u201d says Yan of the cast and crew.  \u201cI know it was a very personal journey of many years for Margot [Robbie], so I felt very honored to be a part of that.  And she was so actively involved as both a star and a producer, which was pretty amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1115\" height=\"822\" data-attachment-id=\"21711\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/entertainment\/with-birds-of-prey-cathy-yan-becomes-the-first-asian-woman-to-direct-a-superhero-film\/attachment\/mrobbie-cyan\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/MRobbie-CYan.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1115,822\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1580181086&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"MRobbie-CYan\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/MRobbie-CYan-300x221.jpg\" data-large-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/MRobbie-CYan-1024x755.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/MRobbie-CYan.jpg?fit=680%2C501\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21711\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/MRobbie-CYan.jpg 1115w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/MRobbie-CYan-300x221.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/MRobbie-CYan-1024x755.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/MRobbie-CYan-768x566.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1115px) 100vw, 1115px\" \/><figcaption><strong> Images courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures <\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBirds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)\u201d is a twisted tale told by Harley herself, as only Harley can tell it.  When Gotham\u2019s most nefariously narcissistic villain, Roman Sionis, and his zealous right-hand, Zsasz, put a target on a young girl named Cass, the city is turned upside down looking for her.  Harley, Huntress, Black Canary and Renee Montoya\u2019s paths collide, and the unlikely foursome have no choice but to team up to take Roman down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The director felt connected to the world of Harley and the Birds.  \u201cGrowing up, I loved Gotham,\u201d she relates.  \u201cWhen I read Christina Hodson\u2019s script, I appreciated how she transformed it and the spirit of her storytelling, as well as the style and attitude of the characters.  They are these badass fighters, plus Harley is over the top, drops F-bombs and makes terrible decisions; her imperfections make her both relatable and also just really fun, and it was all there on the page.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Producer Sue Kroll recalls, \u201cMargot loves playing Harley and devoting the time and energy to figuring out all her quirks.  She and Christina had captured every dimension of the character, so when Cathy laid out her ideas for the film\u2014the characters, the environments, the context\u2014she really created a sense of place that allowed us to understand what she saw and felt, and how in line it was with our vision.\u201d  Kroll says that Yan provided a comprehensive viewpoint that aligned with theirs from start to finish.  \u201cEven her ideas for the music, which is incredibly integral to this film, were undeniable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Robbie concurs, \u201cCathy\u2019s ability to give each character in an ensemble his or her moment on the screen was one of the main reasons I loved her film \u2018Dead Pigs,\u2019 but also why I felt she was the right person to direct this film.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In \u201cBirds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)\u201d Margot Robbie  returns as Harley Quinn, alongside Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Huntress; Jurnee Smollett-Bell as Black Canary; Rosie Perez as Renee Montoya; Chris Messina as Victor Zsasz; and Ewan McGregor  as Roman Sionis.  Newcomer Ella Jay Basco also stars as Cassandra \u201cCass\u201d Cain in her feature film debut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1090\" height=\"800\" data-attachment-id=\"21710\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/entertainment\/with-birds-of-prey-cathy-yan-becomes-the-first-asian-woman-to-direct-a-superhero-film\/attachment\/jsbell-cyan\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/JSBell-CYan.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1090,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1580181134&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"JSBell-CYan\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/JSBell-CYan-300x220.jpg\" data-large-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/JSBell-CYan-1024x752.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/JSBell-CYan.jpg?fit=680%2C499\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21710\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/JSBell-CYan.jpg 1090w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/JSBell-CYan-300x220.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/JSBell-CYan-1024x752.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/JSBell-CYan-768x564.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1090px) 100vw, 1090px\" \/><figcaption><strong>Images courtesy of Warner Bros.
