Gong, whose recent movies include "Curse of the Golden Flower," "Miami Vice" and "Memoirs of a Geisha," has already signed to star in the film, "Shanghai," Daily Variety reported.
Veteran actor Cusack, who has earned glowing reviews for his performance in recent films "Grace is Gone" and thriller "1408," is still in negotiations with studio bosses from The Weinstein Co., the report added.
