It’s being described as a 3D fantasy adventure-monster period action film dramatizing the mysteries surrounding the origins of the Great Wall of China during the Northern Song Dynasty, and their version of the story involves fending off nasty monsters. In addition to Matt Damon, the cast also includes Willem Defoe, Pablo Pascal and a whole slew of notable Asian stars like Andy Lau, Lu Han, Eddie Peng and Jing Tian. It will come out in China in December, and two months later Universal will drop it in the US and Canada.
