‘The Great Wall’ Trailer: Matt Damon fights Demons on the Wall. Huh?

Where the fuck did this movie come from?

io9:

Oh, did I mention that it is also apparently the most expensive Chinese movie of all time? This looks and sounds like all kinds of madness. Update: Now with the first trailer!

The trailer emphasizing its grand scale and the weirdness of Matt Damon being the star of this movie, surrounded by Chinese actors and in a thoroughly lavish Chinese setting.

In fact, save for Damon and a handful of brief shots of Pedro Pascal’s character, the cast is overwhelmingly Asian, and yet the trailer makes it clear that Damon is the main star, despite the Chinese talent involved. It’s quite an unfortunate look given the recent conversations about Asian roles in Hollywood filmmaking.
