It’s been a little while since director Eric Styles wrapped up filming the new 3D action adventure film, then known as Legendary: Tomb Of The Dragon starring Scott Adkins and Dolph Lundgren. On Sunday, Styles tweeted a photo of a studio screenshot highlighting having completed post production, prior to the film’s “industry professional only” screening in Cannes this May 17 and 19.
Today on Facebook, both official Facebook fan pages for Dolph Lundgren and Scott Adkins unveiled a new poster for the film, revealing a change to the new title, Legendary. No word yet on international release dates as of yet, but the film will get its release in China sometime this August.
Legendary will see action stars Adkins and Lundgren in their third big screen appearance since starring in Simon West’s sequel action blockbuster, The Expendables 2, and the John Hyams-directed science fiction martial arts action horror sequel film, Universal Soldier: Day Of Reckoning. The film also stars Huang Yi, Nathan Lee, James Lance, Lydia Leonard and Geng Le.
Travis, our heroic cryptozoologist, wants to prove that a prehistoric beast killing construction workers is more than just a myth. But at the same time his ruthless competitor, Harker, wants to prove he is the best in the business and outdo Travis in any way he can.
Travis finds himself in a race against time to preserve the rare but deadly creature because Harker thrives on trophy killings and shoots to kill…including humans if they come between him and his prey.
Travis is funded by a mysterious wealthy benefactor and finds himself escorted by their slightly overwhelmed lawyer. The rest of his team consists of two friends, seasoned field workers Katie and Brandon, and Jianyu, a boy who first gave him video proof of the dragon. Jianyu has his own mission: to prove that the oil company is covering up the truth about the beast killing his father on their site, which is invading the creature’s time honored home. Construction has woken the dragon from his tomb, a danger which they cannot fully understand.
As the death toll mounts, can Travis’ team outwit the company, battle against Harker and escape the jaws of death whilst saving the species from brutal extinction?
Stay tuned for possible footage and trailer news as these updates develop.
