[About Dragon Blade]
DRAGON BLADE is a legendary blockbuster directed by the highly-acclaimed director, Daniel Lee (“14 Blades”, “Three Kingdoms”), starring Jackie Chan who also works as executive producer, John Cusack, Adrien Brody and Choi Siwon. Chan worked alongside with his crew members every step in the way, even right down to nailing cogwheels for the set. This epic blockbuster is filmed at a budget of US$65 million, a record-breaking figure for a Chinese film.
The movie was shot at Dunhuang and the Gobi Desert to capture the most breath-taking and dramatic natural backdrop, taking 112 days to complete. During the period, the stars and production crew travelled 3200km from Hengdian World Studios in Zhejiang Province, to Aksai on the border of India, and Dunhuang in Western China. The film also has one of the largest production crew of 700 members. Dragon Blade is the first movie that Cusack, Brody and Choi have ever acted in an East-meets-West film, with a huge team of crew who speak over 14 different languages.
The film is a story set in 48BC during the Han Dynasty. Huo An (played by Jackie Chan), the Commander of the Protection Squad of the Western Regions, who protects China’s border and secures peace among warring tribes on the Silk Road. When a convoy of gold bearing a foreign insignia is discovered inside China, he is accused of treason and sent to the border as a slave labourer. With only a small group of his most loyal soldiers, including his right hand man, Yin Po (played by Choi Siwon), he must fight to survive in the prison camp. When a small army of Roman soldiers led by General Lucius (played by John Cusack) appears at the border gate, they outmatch the Chinese border guards. However when Huo An enters the battle, he single-handedly turns it around and earns the respect of Lucius. Among the Romans is a blind boy called Publius, the youngest son of Rome’s Consul Crassus. Crassus was assassinated by his ambitious eldest son, Tiberius (played by Adrien Brody), who is leading 100,000 soldiers towards the border gate, employing subterfuge to kidnap Lucius. This leads to a thrilling piece of history that has never before been told.
Dragon Blade is scheduled for release on Chinese New Year’s Day, 19th February 2015!
