- Directed by Eric Lin and adapted from a 2017 Los Angeles Times article, the film casts Liu as Irene, a Chinese immigrant whose son is diagnosed with schizophrenia.
- The performance follows what Liu calls a 'strange lull' tied to labeling such as the 'Dragon Lady' critique after Kill Bill and offers she viewed as disrespectful.
- Rosemead opens in U.S. theaters Dec. 5, the same day Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair returns to cinemas, with Liu also attached to The Devil Wears Prada 2 for May 1, 2026.
