Mainland actress Fan Bingbing joins hands with female director Li Yu for the third time to shoot a thriller named Double Exposure.

The film also stars rising actor Feng Shaofeng and veteran Joan Chen.

Before winning a best actress award at the 2010 Tokyo International Film Festival for her role in Li's Buddha Mountain, Fan was often stereotyped as just a pretty face.

That is also one of the reasons for her to team up with Li again, Fan said at a recent press conference to announce the film's start.
