As much as I like Hemsworth, that's a significant downgrade. This project looked promising but its forever spinning wheels without getting anywhere.

Will be interesting how he does in Heart of the Sea. If that film can become a box office hit, or of his performance will be critically acclaimed...

Dont get the big draw of Hems. Hes the PERFECT Thor, but thats about it. Hiddleston is the one that should be getting role after role. Whatever though.

Don't worry, the general audience doesn't get the draw either, or his other movies besides Thor would have been hits.

So Damon is still in right?

[RaidensSword]

I have a feeling this is going to be another Flowers of War type situation box office wise. They're trying to appeal to american and chinese audiences but I think it won't be a must see for either.

[newknicksfan]

well flowers of war made 95 million in china.  So an action spectacle should make more.

With $150-million 'Great Wall,' Legendary aims to bridge U.S.-China film gap

http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/cotown/la-et-ct-great-wall-film-legendary-film-20150702-story.html#page=1

 

 

More than four years ago, just as China’s movie market was starting to boom, Thomas Tull, the producer behind blockbusters including “The Dark Knight,” “The Hangover,” “Man of Steel” and “300,” was casting about for a concept that might particularly suit Chinese audiences — and travel globally. His fanboy imagination wandered to the Great Wall. What if, he wondered, the iconic edifice was built not to keep out hordes of Mongolians and other human invaders, but to defend against fantastical monsters?

 

Could turn out into something entertaining.
