HONG KONG: A Beijing film director has asked Jenna Bush, daughter of US President George W Bush, to star in an anti-terrorism movie, a Hong Kong newspaper reported on Sunday.

Director Long Zanxu has sent Jenna a letter offering her the part of heroine Nancy Lee in a $12.06 million production called Hero Defending Country, the South China Morning Post reported.

Jenna, who is a university student in the US, has not yet replied.

In the movie, Lee battles with terrorists on planes and trains in a bid to beat the bad guys and improve Sino-US relations.

Long said the small budget restricted him from hiring Hollywood stars like action movie hero Harrison Ford.

However, he believed the political nature of the film would suit Jenna Bush and hoped that she would accept a low-paid contract as she was not a movie star.

"I intend to console the victims of this terrorist accident with my film," the Post quoted the letter to Bush as reading in English.

"And if you, Jenna, the daughter of the USA President, could play the role in this film developed by China and America, how much would it set the hearts of the people aflame", the letter added.

Filming was due to begin in the spring of 2002 and would be done mainly in China, the report said.

This is Long's second invitation for Jenna to star in one of his productions. In 2000, he invited her to take part in a love drama.

Is it silly of me to think this is a cool idea? Of course, Ms. Bush should refuse, but after hearing about the pro-terrorist propaganda from the Chinese government, this makes me feel rather better about China.
