Will Alexander Skarsgard Or Benjamin Walker Scale ‘The Great Wall?’

[rb02]

Not sure what to predict about this just yet, but I do eagerly anticipate it. Hopefully it's not a "fun" adventure movie. I want another "Last Samarai".

I would expect an EPIC feel to it.

[rb02]

That's certainly what I'd hope for. Of course, I'm first hoping that it actually happens. If it already has a director attached, that's a good sign.

[iceroll]

If they show how it was really built then it will be pretty dark and intense. There's a ton of dead bodies buried into that wall.

[rockNrollaDIM]

There is something inhuman and more dangerous.

Is this a horror? Supernatural?

[rb02]

The bad news is that a planned fall start is being delayed until next spring.The good news is, according to Deadline, the delay is because of weather issues, not another Paradise Lost/AtMoM situation.And also, I had no idea that this thing was so close to happening, so I guess for me that's good news as well. I thought this was one of just 1000 concepts that might or might not happen, not something that has apparently already received a greenlight, or near to it.

They were casting so it was pretty close.

‘The Great Wall’ Isn’t Crumbling; Legendary East Pic Postpones Start Date Until Spring

[Neo]

Lets hope this doesn't have the same fate as Paradise Lost and other WB properties.

[rb02]

According to the link, it won't, but one can never be too sure about these things.

[kayumanggi]

Is this based on a true story?

Ed Zwick Falls Off ‘The Great Wall’

[Neo]

I hope the same fate as Akira and Paradise Lost happen to this one.

[Travod]

Was excited for an epic history piece and was sorely disappointed upon opening the thread.
