Chinese movie director Zhang Yimou, who dazzled the world with his Beijing Olympic opening and closing ceremonies, said Tuesday he is planning a movie to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of New China.

Zhang told Xinhua he may also consent to invitations from government agencies to orchestra a fireworks showcase gala for the anniversary celebration.

China is expected to hold grand celebration activities for the 60th founding anniversary, including a military dress parade in Tian'anmen Square on Oct. 1, the same day when the People's Republic of China was founded in 1949.
