Dragon Blade
NOTABLE film distribution company, FilmOne, has acquired the theatrical rights of the the latest film by Jackie Chan, for distribution in the country. The showing of the film, which was a big hit in China, will start on September 4.
FilmOne says “the cinematographic splendour, sprawling battle scenes, unconvoluted story, memorable thrilling scenes, mind blowing stunts with pints of comic relief synonymous with the legend, makes Dragon Blade a movie worth seeing at the cinemas.”
According to Moses Babatope, COO of FilmOne, “Jackie Chan is a household name in Nigeria and indeed Africa, having achieved great things in his career. Now at sixty, when people think he should be slowing down, the contrary is the case, as he has proven once more that age has nothing to do with reaching your set goals. We are proud to be associated with this film and the Jackie Chan brand and we’re confident that it will do well at the box office.”
The movie takes viewers to the year 48 BC and HuoAn (Jackie Chan), a Hun,serves as the captain of the Protection Squad Silk Road. A Roman general named Lucius (John Cusack) flees to the East with his legion and Publius (Jozef Waite), heir of the ruling Roman Consul, to escape from the corrupt Emperor Tiberius (Adrien Brody), who plans to kill Publius and usurp the throne.
They meet HuoAn at a frontier fort on the Silk Road, where they receive sanctuary. Tiberius and his army, who have pursued Lucius along the Silk Road, approach the fort with intention of killing Publius and ambitions of capturing and controlling the Silk Road. HuoAn decides to help Lucius, and goes to his allies to recruit an army to fight against Tiberius. HuoAn arrives with reinforcements, and an epic battle like never seen before, begins.
