View full post on YoutubeIf you’ve ever wanted to see who would win in a fight between Jackie Chan and Adrien Brody, then Dragon Blade is probably the movie for you.Also starring John Cusack and Lin Peng, the film considers an alternative history in which ancient Rome battles with dynasty-era China for control of the Silk Road. Brody plays a malicious Roman general; Chan, a formerly imprisoned rival. Writer and director Daniel Lee made the film at a price tag of $65 million, making it the most expensive Mandarin-language film ever produced.The appetite for epic films is growing in China, and this one is set to coincide with the Chinese New Year in February, when it will be released in China and Hong Kong in IMAX 3D. It’s only a matter of time before the big action and even bigger scenery-chewing hits our shores.Via io9.John WenzWriterJohn Wenz is a Popular Mechanics writer and space obsessive based in Philadelphia.
