The epic film, a collaborative venture of Chinese and American groups, has a budgeted production cost of US$135 million.

The movie talks about a story of the Great Wall with a new angle of view, answering the largest puzzle in the human history for the audience worldwide - the puzzle of the establishment of the Great Wall. Two 15th century British soldiers witnessed in China, an exceedingly huge and amazing project, the very well-known the Great Wall. However, the two British soldiers found later that the purpose of Great Wall establishment is not only for the defense to Mongolian invasion but also for the attack of the frightening creatures.

"The film is an action film full of magic, talking about a story that happened in China," Zhang said in a previous interview. Zhang also responded to the statement that he gave up literary film after "Coming Home." "To agree to direct 'United Great Wall Project' is because I actually have been receiving this kind of invitations for more than ten years, but I have never tried. Now I accepted this invitation first, because I feel this film is large production. Large means fun and amazing. Second and the most importantly, the film is led by Chinese elements," Zhang explained.

Zhang also said that he leads the Chinese production team to learn from Hollywood's advanced experience and to train Chinese movie workers.

The "United Great Wall Project" is expected to start filming next year with Hollywood's Matt Damon and Bryan Cranston, said to be joining the cast. While Chinese movie actress Zhang Ziyi may also play a role in the film.
