Found this today on IMDB home page:
"In director James Ivory's The White Countess, Ralph Fiennes plays Todd Jackson, a blind, debauched, former diplomat who now spends his time in the various seedy bars of Shanghai. His ambition is to create the perfect dive, a combination of the fashionable, the political, the tragic and the decadent. He meets his establishment's muse in Sofia (Natasha Richardson), a former White Russian countess who fled the Bolshevik revolution and now works as a taxi-driver and sometime prostitute to make ends meet for her family. On the eve of World War II, it is Sofia who rekindles the spark of pride and dignity in Jackson just as the Japanese invade the province."
They also list an official site and link to the trailer. I am very excited about this movie -- hope it gives Natasha the chance to shine in a part that shows what a good actress she is.
