Seriously: this blood-sword-and-sand battle epic starring, of all people, John Cusack, Adrian Brody and Jackie Chan — yes, yes, Jackie Chan! — looks so awesome it wants to leap off the screen. And it’s poised to leap into the U.S. this fall.
Dragon Blade focuses on the fight for the Silk Road when East and West collide, when corrupt Roman leader Tiberius (Adrien Brody) arrives with a giant army to claim the Silk Road, and Huo An (Jackie Chan) and his group of trained warriors teams up with an elite legion of defected Roman soldiers led by General Lucius (John Cusack) to maintain the delicate balance of power in the region. And judging by the trailer alone, it is awesome.
The film is already a major hit in China; it will arrive here in the U.S. in September, afer the summer-superhero storm has passed. And we admit it: we can’t wait. Check it out:
