I was recently invited to the set of CBS Films' new thriller 7500, which is working towards an August 28, 2012 release date. One of the cast members we spoke with is Jamie Chung, who plays one of the stewardesses on a transcontinental flight where mysterious supernatural events occur.

The actress also spoke about her role in The Man with the Iron Fist, and how director RZA's original cut was over four hours long. Here's what the actress had to say below.

"The original cut was four hours long and RZA was like, 'Let's turn it into two movies!' (Producer) Eli (Roth) was like, 'Eh, no.' So they're really excited and I have complete faith in RZA.

It was wonderful and, of course, Wu Tang Clan, their work is just so poetic. He's an amazing director. My character gives up her freedom to save her son. It basically starts out his journey, to a new land. It was very, very moving. Shooting in China was extraordinary. The people were so warm and so smart. My interpreter, who...

We don't know much about A Thousand Words director Ted Chung, or the good-looking star of the short, Yoyao Hsueh. What we do know about the film is that it's a short short, not a single scene wasted, and sweet (in the same way that digital technology has turned us into people who can't communicate, are better citizens, and are also kinda stalkers), and just-announced new Saturday Night Live cast member (along with Brooklyn's own Jenny Slate) Nasim Pedrad is winning enough, in both still photos and in-motion, to convince this guy to go after her and give her back her camera.
