 The character Wai Lin, played by Michelle Yeoh (qv) in  _Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)_ (qv), was originally supposed to make  her return, aiding Bond in Hong Kong, but no arrangement could be  worked out with the actress and she was replaced by Chinese  Intelligence agent (and hotelier) Chang. Wai Lins presence is  confirmed by an extra on the DVD release concerning the writing of  the script: Barbara Broccoli (I) (qv) is shown leafing through an  early script, and it clearly contains lines for Wai Lin.
