'The Great Wall' trailer: China-US film reflects international movie mindset

A new trailer for the upcoming movie 'The Great Wall' has been released. The film stars actors including Matt Damon, Andy Lau, Jing Tian, and Willem Dafoe.

New information about the upcoming movie “The Great Wall,” which stars Matt Damon, Hong Kong star Andy Lau, Chinese actress Jing Tian, and Willem Dafoe, has been released, as importance continues to be placed on a film’s international performance.

A new trailer shows some kind of battle sequence taking place on the Wall and Mr. Damon in armor and carrying arrows, among other images, shedding light on the film's story.

“Wall,” which will be released this coming February in the United States and is directed by Zhang Yimou of the 2014 movie “Coming Home,” is a collaboration between Legendary Entertainment (an American studio which was purchased by China’s Dalian Wanda Group Co. earlier this year), China Film Group, and Le Vision Pictures, a Chinese company.

Director Zhang said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that the movie has many features of familiar Hollywood movies but that it includes elements of Chinese culture with which American audiences might not be familiar.

“First and foremost, this is an English-language film, and a Hollywood blockbuster," Zhang said. "It was already very clear in the script phase. This is a Hollywood monster movie and needs to be made in that style. I don’t want to change that approach, and there’s no need to do that. What I really want is to bring Chinese color and cultural background to the worldwide audience through a film language that they are familiar with.”

Le Vision chief executive officer Zhang Zhao said in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter that in collaborating on “Wall,” he wanted to show that Hollywood and China teaming up is the future.

“China also has a very deep cultural heritage, with myths and classic stories that haven't been visualized and shared with the world yet,” Mr. Zhang said. “Hollywood is the strongest center of movie production. So, if we work together, we can really enhance the cinematic experience for everyone.”

International box office performance is being watched carefully by industry insiders these days. American blockbusters, such as this spring’s “Captain America: Civil War,” often open in other countries days before they arrive in the US. And international grosses could even change a film's future. While the American box office for the 2013 film “Pacific Rim” was not viewed as a home run, a sequel to the movie starring John Boyega is now moving forward. Many are crediting the movie’s international box office statistics as making that possible.

Following “Pacific” scoring the largest-ever movie opening in China for studio Warner Bros., Deadline writer Nikki Finke wrote, “I’ve just learned that momentum is building for a ‘Pacific Rim’ sequel based on the international box office for the Legendary Pictures/Warner Bros summer tentpole.”

Little did they know is that there is no wall high enough for this particular internet horde that was unleashed upon them..

I don't know what all the complaining was about, but I will say that the movie looks like it might be entertaining. However, Matt Damon does look out of place in the movie. Perhaps a less recognized person would have been a better choice?

Apparently it's some elite small army that holds that part of the wall, where monsters try to break through, I suppose matt is some hired elite warrior or something, since China needs some tough dudes to hold the wall. Less recognized person would probably make the movie a harder sell, maybe.

Heh, I'm getting MoP vibe with the Mantid n the Shadopan.

Did they build the wall to stop Mongolians that were riding komodo dragons from getting into china?

[Skizzit]

I think your first mistake is expecting anything other than idiocy out of a youtube comments section. No matter the video, it is always nothing but garbage. I would say less than 1% of the videos I have seen on youtube have anything in the comments worth reading. It is always the most hate-filled collection of idiots on the internet.

Seems to be a straight up monster movie.

Irl wall was several walls between warring chinese city-states and once united, combined them into one huge wall.

Yeah defiantly a monster movie, Just my joke that the monters look like komodo dragons from the brief look we got.

Monsters in movie r based on Chinese folklore n stuff, maybe there is some concept-art n stills I can find. I have to check.

[Wilderness]

I'd never heard of this until they played it before Jason Bourne last night - it sucks people are downvoting it because of Trump but I was very unimpressed by the tailer. Doesn't look very good at all to me.

[Shadowferal]

Heh, I'm getting MoP vibe with the Mantid n the Shadopan.

Yeah..that's not a bad thing to me.

[Gallahadd]

You'd think Trump fans would love this movie... It's about building a giant wall to keep bad guys out! That's their jam!

Anyway, it looks pretty good. I like the idea, I like monster films and I love Zhang Yimou. Although it does look a little "Hollywood" compared to his usual stuff. But I guess with it being a teamup, you can really fault them for it.

and the Mongole did conquered China.....so the wall was a big failure.

[Feredir]

So Ancient Chinese team up with Romans(??) to fight a monster that they had to build a wall for? Sounds silly, but I'm in.

I think it would be funny if the monster were orange and had funny hair.

[Shadowferal]

This will either be as bad as Keanu Reeves in "47 Ronin," or damn good.

Considering the odds/ratio that Damon stars in a bad movie versus the good movies he's been in, he's probably due for a stinker soon.

But I hope not.
I want to see how this translates to a good fantasy.

[Aeula]

Somehow I don't think this movie is about fighting off the Mongorians. So it not being historically accurate is fine. PC people will bitch about anything.

[Mellomania]

Ser Arthur Dayne is posting about the great wall, and it's the one in China he's talking about, i have to admit it's a tiny bit disappointing. D:

[Puupi]

It has Matt Damon in it. It has to be good. Never seen a bad movie where he is around!

Oh crap, you are right.

[Feredir]

Elysium wasn't that bad, wasn't great though.

edit: But he has had his share of bad movies
