THE GREAT WALL MOVIE HENRY CAVILL MOVIE
In 1978, Richard Donners Superman: The Movie brought the worlds greatest superhero to movie screens for the. There’s got to be something in it all.Īlhough Legendary isn’t commenting on the casting, Zwick‘s history as a filmmaker - Glory and The Last Samurai, specifically - leads me to think that Cavill will end up playing a popular role: the noble white man who helps weak minorities in accomplishing a specific task. Superman Christopher Reeves Henry Cavill. Walker landed his first leading film role in Timur Bekmambetovs Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, adapted from Seth Grahame-Smiths genre mash-up book. Whatever you need for your plot, I guess.) Cavill, the first big “get” on the project, is something of a wild card at the moment Immortals, for one, is not the kind of film you judges actors on, and, what’s more, we shouldn’t see any Man of Steel footage until - at the earliest - a teaser attached in front of The Dark Knight Rises. Henry Cavill may be heading to the Far East for his next project. I’m not sure I’m fully on board the Cavill train yet. Written by the director and Marshall Herskovitz - also based on an idea from Legendary head Thomas Tull and Max Brooks - The Great Wall pulls back the curtain on “the mystery behind how China’s Great Wall was constructed.” (From my own recollections, the Great Wall’s construction isn’t much of a mystery. No word yet on what role Cavill will have or who will co-star but we’ll keep you posted when we hear more.

While Zwick went as far as casting Henry Cavill and Benjamin Walker, it just didn’t get over the wall that time (.) The Great Wall reveals the mystery behind why the Great Wall was built, and the secrets that are kept under its stone structure. Edward Zwick’s The Great Wall, described as a mystery thriller set during the time of the construction of China’s Great Wall, is currently in the pre-production stages.

Variety tells us that Cavill is in talks for The Great Wall, an Edward Zwick-directed story of how China’s most impressive landmark came to be. In addition to Man of Steel, another upcoming Henry Cavill movie (in the US) is Mabrouk El Mechri’s The Cold Light of Day. With this in mind, a historical epic (from a generally respected director, no less) might not be the worst path. So, after June 2013, his career choices will have that all-too dangerous public spotlight shining right above now would be a perfect time to plan for the future. Should Man of Steel do the business it needs to do, Henry Cavill is a household name in roughly 16 months’ time.
