Universal and Legendary have released the first look at their upcoming monster film, The Great Wall, starring Matt Damon; and we have all there is to see thus far for you right here. Dig it!
Directed by Yimou Zhang (Hero, House of Flying Daggers), The Great Wall also stars Willem Dafoe (Antichrist, Spider-Man), Pedro Pascal (“Game of Thrones”), Andy Lau (Infernal Affairs), Luhan, and Jing Tian (Kong: Skull Island).
“This is a Hollywood monster movie and needs to be made in that style,” Zhang said previously. “The film takes place about 1,000 years ago. At its core, it is a period piece and an action film. The fantasy element does play a major role because of the monsters. But what makes our film unique is that these are ancient Chinese monsters. Even though it’s a fantasy movie, we filmed it in a very realistic way. We want it to feel like the events actually happened. Other than the monster, all aspects of this film are backed by either scientific or historical research.”
Legendary’s The Great Wall tells the story of an elite force making a valiant stand for humanity on the world’s most iconic structure.
