New Trailer For DRAGON BLADE with Jackie Chan, John Cusack, and Adrien Brody
Dragon Blade is one of the most strangely cast movies in recent memory. The action-packed film stars Jackie Chan, John Cusack, and Adrien Brody, which is a strange mix of actors, especially with the type of movie that this is. The film is a historical epic that was inspired by a missing legion of Roman soldiers that traveled into China in 48 BCE.
There's a ton of money that went into making this movie. Visually it looks great, but unfortunately the film itself looks completely awful. Cusack and Brody don't seem to fit into their characters at all. It's actually laughable. When you watch the trailer, you'll see what I mean.
The film features the fight for the Silk Road when East and West collide. When corrupt Roman leader Tiberius (Brody) arrives with a giant army to claim the Silk Road, Huo An (Chan) and his group of trained warriors teams up with an elite legion of defected Roman soldiers led by General Lucius (Cusack) to maintain the delicate balance of power in the region. To protect his country and his new friends, Huo An gathers the warriors of thirty-six ethnic nations together to fight Tiberius in an incredible epic battle.
The movie was directed by Daniel Lee (14 Blade, Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon), and it's set to be released in the U.S. on September 4th.
