The film's action scenes also exemplify a sense of precise, shared responsibility that one rarely sees in action-spectaculars. In that sense, the scene where William admits that he killed a Tei Tao "alone," without the aid of Tovar or his slain mercenary colleagues, is a significant reminder of the film's communal ideology: William, as an undisciplined loner, must prove that he's worth just as much as a selfless Chinese soldier. On the contrary, the impassive faces of the Nameless Order's soldiers remind us that all of these people, together, are remarkable. Each crowd shot in this film is remarkable, but not because director Zhang Yimou ("Hero," " House of Flying Daggers") and his assistant directors know how to direct extras. They launch themselves at their enemies using pulleys, bungee cords, hot-air balloons, boulder-spewing catapults, and many, many arrows. But eventually, William and Tovar's agendas drift apart after William becomes seduced by the formal control and selfless zeal that defines the Nameless Order.Īnd who wouldn't be impressed? The Nameless Order marches around in colorful suits of armor that come in hues of indigo, crimson and cerulean. William and Tovar are initially unmoved by the Nameless Order's considerable plight they want to make their fortunes by stealing gunpowder from their hosts, and selling it to European traders. The monster, they are told, is a "Tei Tao," one of a horde of creatures that attacks the now-famous Great Wall of China once every 60 years. Universal are distrubiting the film which along with the blurb states that it’s become the most expensive movie ever made entirely in China at $135m USD.Ĭheck out the trailer below and let us know what you think in the comments section.Damon and Pascal play William and Tovar, respectively, wandering European mercenaries who are captured by the Chinese army of the Nameless Order shortly after they slay a mysterious green monster. We’ve already had one 2 minute trailer and this trailer (of group of movie trailers) gives us much more of a feel of what we can expect. The film is set for release in the UK early 2017.
The opening few minutes are in English with the remaining seven in (I believe – and please correct me if I’m wrong!) Chinese introducing the characters to the film. The movie is centered around the construction of The Great Wall of China and ask you’ll see form this epic trailer, the movie is action packed and looks visually stunning. The Great Wall comes from director Zhang Yimou and alongside Damon stars Willem Dafoe, Pedro Pascal, Tian Jing, Numan Acar, Zhang Hanyu, Andy Lau, Han Lu, Kenny Lin and and Eddie Peng. Ever think trailers give too much away? Well if that’s the case click away from this post now as a 9 minute Chinese trailer for Matt Damon’s The Great Wall has landed online.
