LEGENDARY (Eric Styles, 2013)

I wouldn't post it in this topic if it was regarding EX2...

[Moltisanti]

Is Adkins still on board for this?

[Jox]

Yes.

I think it should be more interesting than it seems, nothing to do with an IN THE NAME OF THE KING 2 type flick, and more like a contemporary action adventure suspense thriller with a blood-thirsty monster you barely see if you read the synopsis again.

Adkins and Dolph hunting a monster wow i'm so glad this is happening i always wanted to see Dolph working with other popular action stars i hope Dolph works with Arnold next in one of his movies or Bruce willis

Is Dolph in China now ?

[Darling]

Yes he is. On Sunday he goes to Singapore.

[guns]

Singapore is a country,it does not belong to China

[Jox]

He's probably making a stop to meet up with the director of BATTLE OF THE DAMNED which he will shoot in Singapore back to back right after this one.

"LEGENDARY: TOMB OF THE DRAGON" BEGINS PRODUCTION IN CHINA WITH SCOTT ADKINS AND DOLPH LUNDGREN
The great tradition of big action movie of good artistic and entertainment value for the grown-up family entertainment is back and well served by a new 95 minutes action packed adventure film shot in 3D this summer in China! With mastery, scientific feel and lots of adventure, the 'Tomb of the Dragon', will take you to the remote, unexplored and dangerous landscape of China's central province. Predictably rich in water and minerals could this forsaken land also be filled with other unearthed and unexpected surprises? You will have to wait and see!

Meanwhile - to get the film ready for release on time - a mixed team of actors, and film crews will be spending 8 weeks in China. The film is based on Andy Briggs story and script (Andy has authored the HERO.COM series and the VILLAIN.NET anti-series for Young Adults, also a latest book TARZAN: THE GREYSTOKE LEGACY and is set to re-launch the TARZAN franchise for a new generation)

Eric Styles directs and this is a second collaboration with Chris Milburn (the previous being 'RELATIVE VALUES' - an ensemble comedy starring Julie Andrews, Colin Firth, Steven Fry, and Jeanne Tripplehorn). To his credit Erik has directed 'DREAMING OF JOSEPH LEES' written by Catherine Linstrum, with Samantha Morton and Rupert Graves, 'TEMPO' with Melanie Griffith, Hugh Dancy and Rachel Leigh Cook, 'MISS CONCEPTION' starring Heather Graham and Mia Kirshner and in 2009 'TRUE TRUE LIE', starring Jaime King.

I guess we should be thankful for Scott Adkins and the fact that it is not filming in the usual DTV territory locations. So who is the responsible production company on this one? It's not an AfterDark or MPCA effort is it?

[Jox]

It's a UK co-production from companies I never heard of before. A couple executive producers were investors on the After Dark titles but that doesn't mean much.

Interesting, so if you were to compare the scale of this film to a recent Dolph effort such as One in the Chamber? Basically, does this have a decent budget and a reasonable platform which, should filming go well, hopefully lead to a higher profile release than usual, or is this intended DTV schlock from the get-go?

[Jox]

They're making it in 3D (hurrghhhh) but again does it mean anything? Guess not.

So they are SHOOTING it in 3D? Not just planning to do it in post?
