ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

Written and Directed by Daniel Lee, DRAGON BLADE is an action epic featuring international superstar Jackie Chan as producer, action director and its main star. He has teamed up with Hollywood leading man John Cusack and Oscar® winner Adrien Brody to form an intriguing trio of characters in this action epic. Other leading cast members include Korean super idol Siwon Choi; the famed Chinese singing duo Chopsticks Brothers, Xiao Yang and Wang Taili; and actresses Lin Peng and Mika Wang. There is a special guest appearance by William Feng.

Inspired by true historical events, the story of DRAGON BLADE is about Huo An (Jackie Chan), the Commander of the Silk Road Protection Squad. As an orphaned child, he was the ward of the legendary General Huo Qubing. Now, with trusted subordinate Yin Po (Siwon Choi), he leads a troop of soldiers to safeguard China’s borders. They tackle the mission with a deep-seated belief in equality, tolerance and peace. However, it’s an era of deep unrest in which Huns nomads roam the northwestern territory occupied by 36 warring nations. One day, Huo An meets the beautiful and feisty Cold Moon (Lin Peng) when resolving an ethnic dispute. She fights him in a duel, only to fall for him when he defeats her; but Huo An is committed to his troops and teacher wife Xiu Qing (Mika Wang) to focus on realizing his dreams of peace on the Silk Road. But then, wrongfully accused of treason, Huo An and his men are sent as slave laborers to repair the city walls of Wild Geese Gate.

Positioned in the midst of a war zone between the Hun nomads and Han Chinese, Wild Geese Gate is a godforsaken trading post in the desert that is governed by the ramshackle leadership of Captain (Xiao Yang) and Rat (Wang Taili), his deputy. Here, Huo An encounters Lucius (John Cusack) and his legion of Roman soldiers after taking temporary command of Wild Geese Gate. When a sandstorm approaches, out of compassion, Huo An opens the gates to give shelter to the Romans. In return, the Romans offer their construction expertise. The Romans use their foreign techniques to help finish eh repair of the city wall before an impossible deadline. Lucius and Huo An become trusted friends.

The Roman legion had headed east, towards China, because Lucius was trying to protect the life of Publius, the son of a Roman consul, whose life was threatened by his brother Tiberius (Adrien Brody). Power-hungry Tiberius had assassinated the consul and blinded his younger brother before the boy escaped with Lucius. Unknowingly, Lucius has fallen into Tiberius's trap. And an even bigger conspiracy, involving the fate of China, is in play…

A MASSIVE AND ARDUOUS PRODUCTION

Seven years in the making, DRAGON BLADE is an epic in the history of Chinese cinema. Filmed on a record-breaking budget of $65 million, the tale about the legend of two powerful forces, set during the era of China’s Western Han Dynasty and the Roman Empire. The international ensemble of characters creates a global perspective on peacekeeping and righteousness that has not been touched upon in previous Chinese-language films. The film has assembled three A-list actors within a cast that features Hollywood heavyweights, a Korean super idol and a world-renowned Chinese film icon. The cast and crew traveled great distances - over 3200km - spanning from Hengdian World Studios in the East, to Dunhuang and Aksai in the West of China. 700 crew members of different nationalities worked on set, speaking more than ten languages including Mandarin, Cantonese, English, Korean, French, German and Russian.

THE FIRST CHALLENGE - WILD GEESE GATE

The production team embarked on a strenuous and lengthy journey to make this unique story. They wish to express the film’s inherent grandeur through its storyline, concept and production. The creative team decided to construct Wild Geese Gate as a physical location, going to great lengths to fabricate Roman trispastos cranes, iron cages and bricks, following original designs and proportions faithfully, but also adding a dash of Chinese element. Director Daniel Lee notes that detailed blueprints were drawn up for the construction of the whole castle town. Filmgoers can see how Wild Geese Gate is rebuilt as the story develops.

A six motor helicopter drone was used on several locations to shoot aerial shots. One aerial shot planned to capture a crucial standoff between two nations at the bottom of some hills. It was initially going to be shot from a mountain above, but it was too high and the way up too steep with no suitable place for the drone to take off and land. So the runner climbed over the hill and spent an hour creating a flat surface for the drone and two controllers to stand on.

Several large cranes and jibs were used to shoot establishing shots for the film's spectacular scenes. Super-sized green screens, several stories tall, were hung in different studios so that the backdrop could be added in post-production. Costumes and props filled several dozen containers.

The Jackie Chan Stunt Team handled the action sequences that are at the center of the film. A few of the stunt team's members are also in the cast, including Steve Yoo who stars as Huo An’s right-hand-man Cougar. Two teams were filming simultaneously, with the second team's action scenes directed by action choreographer He Jun. Since most of the cast did not have an action background, the team

trained the actors and designed the sequences around them. Jackie Chan said, “I prefer to do solid fighting sequences rather than wire-work. There is too much wire-work these days.”

THE SECOND CHALLENGE - HANG ON TIGHT

The crew had to overcome many obstacles to film this epic film, including battling the weather, enduring continuous rain in Hengdian and countless sandstorms in Aksai. Just like the central character of Huo An who never loses faith in his dream of peace, the crew had to accept the hardships, misunderstandings and failures. One had to keep moving forward and upward to create the unique action epic.

Since the film is set in the western frontier region, the desert heat, sweltering sun and constant sandstorms were great challenges for the crew. They faced at least three large sandstorms, and many minor ones, during the desert shoot, sometimes with visibility limited to 2 meters. Sudden surge of temperatures came with the sandstorms with the ground temperature sometimes above 50 degrees Celsius. They lost count of the repeated instances of damage to the tents and camera equipment. Furthermore, the cast had to endure the unbearable heat wearing heavy armor, furs and overcoats with an average shooting day that lasted 14 to 15 hours. Jackie Chan said that conditions were so unbearable to be beyond one's imagination.

The arduous filming schedule added to the daily toil. The crew was under pressure to capitalize on the limited sunlight each day. There were many scenes involving military formations and battle charges involving a large number of people over a vast area of land. Most impressively, there is a scene in which a united front - formed by the 36 nations - sweep down upon Tiberius’ Army, breaking their formation. Tiberius’ Army was made up of infantry, but some of the other two teams feature actors on horseback. One team started the attack first before the second one joined in. The timing of the massive action sequences was complicated by the huge scale of the scene. Chan, who commanded the action, said, “The hardest thing isn’t the performances but coordinating a large crowd.” The extras also created a great deal of sand and dust in the air, which complicated filming, when they returned to their original positions for retakes. It took two hours in ten takes to capture the scene, excluding the extensive preparation time. A perfect shot was finally captured, but it was only represents a brief moment on camera.

“The Sand-Fed Weight-Loss Crew”

Filmmakers can easily find locations that have never been captured on film. Aksai, one of the main locations, was chosen because it is within the Aksai Kazakh Autonomous County in Jiuquan, situated at the intersection of Gansu, Qinghai and Xinjiang provinces. The climate is arid and windy all year around. The crew was in full desert gear, including UV-protected clothing, scarves, face masks and sunglasses. You could only identify a crew member by his stride and voice.

The whole crew was on an emotional high throughout the shoot, singing and screaming in pick-up trucks going to and from the set. Everyone was exhilarated as they experienced their first sandstorm, such that they didn’t even consider taking cover. A Korean stills photographer simply picked up his camera and started shooting. The rest of the crew took out their phones to take pictures of themselves. Hundreds of crew went crazy.

After the first few sandstorms, the crew learned that the first priority was to cover up the camera equipment and secure the tents from collapsing. The sandstorms swept in suddenly with only a few minutes’ notice. When filming the arrival of the Roman soldiers, it was so sandy that no faces could

be seen through the camera. Filming stopped but the crew had to hold onto the tents to stop them from blowing away. Throughout the shoot, many tents were blown away in sandstorm and the crew turned into "sandmen" with sand covering their clothes, their hair and filling up their shoes. Even wearing face masks, they could not keep the sand out of their noses and ears. The whole crew was on a diet of sand.

It proved even harder for the cast who had to face the camera and act with their eyes opened. Director Daniel Lee and action choreographer He Jun wore the least gear: Lee only had a scarf around his neck at the beginning of the shoot, later adding a pair of sunglasses to deal with the intense sun. He developed a deep tan before filming wrapped. He Jun’s black hair “turned” grey from the sand.

There was hardly any entertainment for the crew during the two months they spent filming in Aksai. There were about a dozen hotels in the closest town that was booked up by the crew. A bunch of runners, chefs and drivers had to camp out in the desert in tents where they had no phone signal or Wi-Fi. They could only gather to chat or play cards. The handful of BBQ restaurants in the town were popular spots for the crew to mingle late at night after work. For those staying in hotels, a two hour drive away, they would frequently leave on empty stomachs rather than taking the bumpy ride through the desert with full stomachs.

There was no place to spend money in Aksai so it was a great bonding experience for getting to know your fellow crew mates. It was guaranteed that one could lose weight just by eating sand all day long. One joked, “Cherish your life, and stay away from this crew.”

THE THIRD CHALLENGE - ONE AGAINST THOUSANDS

“Thank Goodness for ‘Big Brother’”

Jackie Chan knows precisely how to handle stress on set and would even defuse tense situations for others. Once when it was raining in Hengdian, the director had to abruptly change the filming schedule and shoot indoors. The gaffers and runners were busy setting up the change, and the director was writing down lines for that scene. Chan used the time in the make-up room to memorize his own lines, which wasn’t difficult for him. To everyone’s confusion, none of the extras reacted to his lines during the dress rehearsal. The reason was that most of the extras were foreigners who could not understand Chinese and the interpreter wasn’t there to explain, so the sudden change of the scene took them by surprise. Chan said, “Is it because they didn’t understand what I was saying?” Then everyone knew what was going on and laughed as he helped to ease this rather tense moment.

“Keeping your eyes peeled”

Jackie Chan might be willing to attempt every risky scene in the screenplay, but he always watched out for others, especially the children. He often led the child actors to safe spots in between shots, telling them “it’s dangerous over there, stay here.” There are many retakes in the scene in which soldiers chased him and Xiu Qing into an alley where he engaged in a fight with one. Chan was afraid that he might cut an extra on the face each time he made a turn, as he was holding three blades in his left hand.

Jackie is extremely attentive, down to the smallest of details. Inside Xiu Qing’s classroom, there are

props made out of foam which look like wooden carved toys. These could easily get blown off the shelf or be arranged back in a different order. Chan would rearrange them as soon as he spotted any discrepancy. He was also keen to return props in different scenes to their correct place for retakes. He’d do it personally, not asking runners to do it.

THE FORTH CHALLENGE - WHATEVER COMES, WE OVERCOME

“Time-consuming actors”

Other than the challenges associated with the extremities of the weather of the desert weather and the constant sandstorms during the production of an epic, the crew of DRAGON BLADE had to work with the most time-consuming of actors: animals and children.

In a classroom scene, Xiu Qing was teaching a group of children when Huo An walked in. The children rushed up to him asking for hugs and snacks after they had finished singing. A 3-year-old actor wasn’t in the mood to perform and, after several retakes, Chan decided to “change the script”. He placed the child on his lap and started to feed him snacks, letting him picked whatever he wanted. It seemed to work during rehearsal but during the actual take, the child shook his head after the first bite. Chan ran out of ideas so he swallowed the snack and told the crew, “It’s really yummy.” Truth is, Jackie is nice to everyone, especially to children. When a child didn’t give the right facial expression or stood at the wrong spot, he’d patiently explain over and over. Whenever he noticed the children weren’t in the right mood to perform, he sing and laugh with them to lighten their spirits to achieve what the director was after. But kids being kids, there was no guarantee that these tricks would work every time.

Children aren’t that difficult to deal with compared to the animal actors. There are many horses employed in the filming of DRAGON BLADE. Even though horses are relatively gentle animals, all the running under the blazing desert sun was too much for them, especially in a scene when hundreds of soldiers on horseback charge. When Jackie Chan spotted sharp gravel along their path, he removed it from the track. “These could easily crack through the horseshoes as they run at high speed.” Other crew members followed his lead and started clearing the track.

In addition to the many horses, there are condors and camels in the film that had no trouble demonstrating their diva tendencies. Condors aren’t easily tamed. The two on set have been trained to deliver the required performances, but they didn’t feel obligated to listen to anyone on set, even their trainer. It took time for them to adjust to the shooting environment. Sammy Hung, who plays condor-owner Sun, would go to the set without a call sheet to become familiarized with the condors, giving them water and having little “chats” with them. But on the day of the actual shoot, at 9 a.m., the condor refused to fly. Two hours passed but it still didn’t feel like flying. There was not a single useable shot until around 5 p.m. when the prima donna condor decided to take a spin in the air. The action director cried out in joy while other crew members gave a round of applause. Fortunately, it’s a shot without other actors or else it would have been a disaster. As for the camels, the “desert animals” were incredibly grumpy on set. As if protesting against the heat, they went on strike and refused to take orders from their trainer. No matter how the trainer raised his voice commanding them to kneel, or to unload their packs, they held their ground and kept growling.

THE CONCEPT BEHIND DRAGON BLADE

The wisdom and vision reflected in DRAGON BLADE transcends time and cultures. It spans ancient times to the modern day. It shows the long-lasting impression made on history by the world's great cultures.

Huo An in DRAGON BLADE sings “Song of Peace” at a celebratory feast after the building of the city wall. The last sentence of the lyrics is “may wars end forever”. He repeated this sentence after the song, for it’s his will to have world peace.

WHEN DANIEL LEE MET JACKIE CHAN

Daniel Lee

Daniel Lee wore several hats in the production of DRAGON BLADE, bringing together his wealth of experience of making period martial arts films. Filmmakers from Hollywood to Hong Kong have been developing films about the extraordinary moment in history. Lee decided to make his own film of the events after he met with Jackie Chan; he began writing the outline of the film seven years ago.

Lee learned of the Protection Squad during his extensive research. Later, he attended "The Two Empires: the Eagle and the Dragon”, a touring exhibition that makes reference to the encounter between East and West. He later linked these fragments to form the story. The scale of the project expanded and found its focus when he and Jackie Chan decided to use “peace” as the film's motif.

For Lee, the most interesting aspect of the story is the high concept of a Roman legion entering China. Although there is no historical record of Roman soldiers engaging in a war within China's borders, the film imagines that possibility. Lee categorizes DRAGON BLADE as a historical wuxia epic. By wuxia, he’s referring to the Chinese sense of chivalry; Huo An is a noble character who puts his life, faith and philosophy on the line for a better future.

The director’s priority was to make an entertaining film, and let the audience discover its own message. The film has heroism, father-and-son bonding, high romance, spectacular landscapes and eye-popping CGI. Accepting difference with tolerance is the key to solving conflicts between ethnic nations. The film is centered on this concept, giving the audience fears, tears and laughter.

To bring his characters to life, the director injected each actor’s persona into their character. For Jackie Chan, it’s not only about performing in DRAGON BLADE, but also about expressing his philosophy of life. Chan can easily strike a chord with the audience because, like his character, he is an honest, chivalrous man.

John Cusack’s Roman general is a tragic figure. The director finds Cusack dashing and romantic. Adrien Brody is a mischievous soul who brings playfulness to his performance. Since the director is also the screenwriter, he could fine-tune the script for the actors after getting to know their personalities and strengths on set.

DRAGON BLADE was shot on China's western frontier, which is a difficult location for film crews. But the director has already shot several period action epics there and conducted extensive research on the era. He needed to juggle many things, such as managing a shoot in the relentless desert and controlling scenes with hundreds of extras. But the biggest challenge was handling the different languages in the film, spoken by three dozen nations.

WHEN JACKIE CHAN MET DANIEL LEE

Jackie Chan

A meeting between Jackie Chan and Daniel Lee seven years ago was the catalyst for DRAGON BLADE, an epic that is making records in Chinese cinema for its budget, crew size and production quality. Discussing potential projects, Lee mentioned the legend of Roman legion; Chan then asked him to develop it into a full screenplay. After the two men agreed on the film's main theme - that different race can live in harmony - Chan left Lee to write alone, adding a few ideas about the action scenes. Chan is the film's producer, executive producer and plays Huo An, a hero of peace in the war-torn period. Chan was once fascinated with heroes, but is now conflicted, believing that they only arise in periods of distress.

Lee created Huo An’s personality and his values with Chan in mind. Chan loved his lines of dialogue, which helped him take his performance to another level. Chan also recognized Lee talent as a production designer. Lee, who’s known for his meticulous art direction, made many last-minute alterations to the wardrobe and makeup, even just for a mustache, he altered it more than 800 times.

INTERNATIONAL SUPERSTARSJackie Chan

Jackie Chan is dedicated to cinema. He would often remain on the set after completing his own scenes to teach his co-stars action moves, set up tents or sort recyclables. Otherwise, he would sit away from the crew observing, as if there was a caption above his head reading, “I really love this film set”. As an international star, he has experienced the benefits and disadvantages of different studio systems around the world. Chan says that he is trying to devise his own style of productions. For example, he is surprised that, on co-production films, American and Chinese crews eat different meals. “We should be eating the same food, why should we treat people from different nationalities differently?”

Temperatures were scorching during the filming of the city wall’s construction, and Chan's costume was especially heavy. The crew advised him to use a body double for an overhead shot, but he insisted to push the heavy cogwheels together with dozens of extras. Chan has been part of the film's key creative team from concept to the construction of the large-scale props. The prop team jokes that “he did most of the work on set”.

Chan also surprised the make-up artists with his acting range. On set in Dun Huang, when the dying Xiu Qing places her husband under Cold Moon’s care, Chan holds Mika Wang in his arms and breaks out in tears. “Big Brother’s eyes welled up in a split second; the emotional transition was immediate. Usually he’d joke around with us; we’re not used to see him crying like that.”

John CusackJohn Cusack plays Roman General Lucius, a warrior who has been forced to flee his own country. He is tormented because of his love for his master’s wife, seeking redemption by saving the life of her youngest son, Publius.

Hailing from a family of actors, Cusack has starred in many Hollywood productions including disaster epic 2012, zeitgeist romantic comedy High Fidelity and the cult black comedy Being John Malkovich. A film veteran, who has also worked as a director and producer, the action sequences in DRAGON BLADE were completely new to him. Cusack often “challenges” Jackie Chan off-screen. The two men, armed with blades, would duel during breaks. Chan would give Cusack tips on blade-throwing tricks, such as turning before the throw to create a cooler image.

Cusack prepped for his role with muscle training and by practicing martial arts, kickboxing and sword fighting. In the scene in which Lucius saves the life of Publius, he had to perform a complicated fight sequence, battling several men from the opposing Roman camp. Cusack repeated the scene from morning until night. With stamina and perseverance, he was able to give a powerful performance despite being soaked in sweat in the desert heat.

Adrien BrodyAdrien Brody plays the Roman General Tiberius in DRAGON BLADE. His character is an ambitious and ruthless ruler. He has a line that encapsulates the eccentricities of his character, “I like people to hate me. Their hatred makes me feel alive.”

Brody is an acclaimed American actor who has studied performance since childhood, before entering New York's prestigious American Academy of Dramatic Arts. His role in The Pianist secured him a Best Actor Oscar® in 2003, then the youngest winner in the category. Brody has been a fan of Chinese martial arts films since he was young. He recalled his memories of weekly trips to watch kung fu films in New York’s Chinatown with his father. Brody is one of Jackie Chan’s most ardent fans and has expressed his desire to work with the action legend many times.

Brody’s first Chinese film production was Feng Xiaogang's Back to 1942, also shot in arduous conditions. Brody is independent and didn’t demand an entourage. The crew assigned him an English-speaking member of the Jackie Chan Stunt Team as his assistant, from whom Brody took the opportunity to learn martial arts moves.

Brody and Chan may be enemies onscreen but became friends offscreen. Brody calls Chan “Big Hero”. Chan believes that Brody is more than a great actor, “He’s well-liked on set… Chinese actors should learn from him.” Chan personally translated Brody’s speech to the cast and crew when his filming wrapped.

Siwon ChoiKorean heartthrob Siwon Choi shed his clean cut K-pop idol image, sporting a beard in DRAGON BLADE that transforms him into Yin Po, a rugged military guard on the western frontier. Among the many characters in the film, Yin Po's loyalties are the most ambiguous. Choi had a tough time filming, running around in heavy armor, which helped him tone his physique under the sweltering desert sun. Choi put extra effort into practicing his Chinese dialogue backstage, until he nailed the pronunciation. His hard work didn’t go unnoticed, and he received compliments from Daniel Lee. At the end of the day’s shoot, the director gave Choi rare T-shirt with his film workshop’s logo.

Choi was captivated by the script from the very beginning. As he wrapped filming, he continued to urge others to catch it when it is released. Like the rest of the cast, he enjoys working with Jackie Chan who is very attentive. “Because he protects and takes care of everyone, everyone affectionately calls him Big Brother”.

THE GODDESSES

Lin Peng (Cold Moon) and Mika Wang (Xiu Qing, Huo An’s wife) are the film's two heroines. Their roles and characters are opposite, a warrior and a teacher. Lin’s character is an ice queen, wearing a slim-cut fur coat, a turquoise skirt and a leather waist wallet armed with a crescent blade. As the only Han character, Xiu Qing wears a traditional Chinese costume with subtle tones, and a golden head shawl to blend in with the silk route traders. She has the aura of a gentlewoman and presents herself with a graceful smile.

Mika WangMika Wang, who plays Huo An’s wife Xiu Qing, impressed everyone with her ability to express her character's emotions, shedding tears just as she delivered her “I love you” line. The taxing scene was finished ahead of schedule.

Wang interprets Xiu Qing as the great woman who stands behind every great man. She teaches young children of many different ethnic backgrounds while Huo An wages peace on the frontline. They share common goals and values in life. Wang said of Chan, “A great load was taken off me with Big Brother’s pointers, helping me to create many possibilities to fully interpret my role.”

Lin Peng

Lin Peng who plays the icy Huns warrior Cold Moon, received the most injuries among the cast, including the most serious ones. Her character uses two weapons, the whip and the bow. Her fingers were constantly swollen from drawing the bow every day; the skin even peeled off her index finger. She fell from two meters onto gravel when her wires broke, landed hard on the left side of her body; fortunately her head was protected by Jackie Chan.

Lin said, “It hurt a lot! There were bruises and intense swelling. But accidents happen; it can't be helped.” She was convinced by Daniel Lee and Chan to feature in a wedding scene half-naked, a Huns custom. She’s the only one who ended up with a nosebleed in this steamy scene due to inflammation caused by the arid desert climate, which she suffered from throughout the shoot.

Lin trained with the Jackie Chan Stunt Team for several months before the start of the shoot, practicing how to crack the whip. She didn’t want to hurt Chan in two scenes involving the whip, but was also concerned that the lashes didn’t pack enough punch to be convincing on camera.

For Lin, the most challenging part wasn’t the action sequences but expressing her character’s icy persona through her gaze and body language. “She can really kick-ass; she's a very strong character. Her gaze should be direct, without hesitation. She must be quick-witted and aggressive… her personality is really nothing like mine.”

BUDDIES AND PALS

The Chopsticks Brothers - Xiao Yang and Wang Taili

Xiao Yang and Wang Taili starred together in the ground-breaking and well-received microfilm Old

Boys. Their song, the American Music Award-winning “Little Apple” is a huge success in South Korea, where they have featured with K-pop idol T-ara. The duo has great on-screen chemistry that they bring to the film in the roles of Captain (Xiao Yang) and Rat (Wang Taili), residents of Wild Geese Gate. Captain is someone who is illogical and bumbling by nature while Rat is a military doctor who devotes his energies to playing tricks on the Captain. The duo features in almost all of the film’s comedic moments. The Captain sports a head of curls and wears vicious-looking heavy armor and a whip. Rat is sneaky looking with an orange headscarf, navy overcoat and he is always smoking a pipe. They are hard to miss on set.

Xiao Yang researched the background of the story after first receiving the script and feels that the legend is fascinating: “We only know that a bunch of people went there, but since there’s no confirmation, the mystery only makes it more alluring, leaving plenty of room for the imagination.”

Sammy Hung

Sammy Hung plays Red Sun of the Huns, the elder brother of Cold Moon. His character always appears with a male condor, which was a symbol of status along the ancient western frontier. The condor is also the symbol of the Huns nation. But the bird’s 12kg weight means that his arm always aches just from carrying the bird around. Fortunately, Hung has been practicing martial arts since he was a child with his father, martial arts legend Sammo Hung. He is very patient with animals and took the time needed to bond with the bird. He finds the script of DRAGON BLADE very special, with many perspectives, covering different aspects such as loyalty, love and peace. He believes that people with different backgrounds and experiences will pick up different messages.

Jozef Liu WaiteThere’re a number of child actors in the film playing the residents of Wild Geese Gate. The main one is Jozef Liu Waite who plays Publius, the son of powerful Roman consul. Waite is well known after appearing on the TV program Grade One on Hunan TV. The 7-years-old, half-British, half-Chinese actor shares screen time with all the main male leads. John Cusack is a natural at playing with children and they bonded quickly like father and son. The young actor is able to deliver his lines with emotion, impressing his co-stars, moving Jackie Chan to tears and gaining praise from Cusack. At one point, when Waite suddenly froze in the middle of a singing scene and held his jaw with his hand there was a wave of laughter on set. In fact, Waite's dentures - that cover his missing baby teeth - had fallen out mid-song.

William Feng

William Feng plays the legendary General Huo Qubing, who is based on a true historical figure. He also shot on location in Aksai, and experienced the difficulties of filming in the desert. He said, “It may be a harsh environment, but the location motivated us. It’s an actor’s job to deliver his or her performance no matter what.”

ABOUT THE CHARACTERS

COUGAR (Steve Yoo) Still in his early 20s, he one of Huo An's most trusted men and closest friends. Enemy intelligence and detective work are his forte.

LADY CRASSUS, PUBLIUS'S MOTHER (Sharni Vinson) is the wife of Crassus, Rome's wealthiest man who wields great political power. She was also romantically involved with Lucius before her parents pressured her into wedding Crassus. In the first year of her marriage, she gave birth to Publius, which she secretly suspects is the son of Lucius.

GENERAL HUO QUBING (William Feng) was the founder and commanding officer of the Silk Road Protection Squad of the Western Regions. He rescued Huo An when he was a starving orphan and raised him as his own son. He advocated the peaceful coexistence of the nations on the Silk Road,

which is a legacy that Huo An continued as his successor.
