The new trailer for The Great Wall has just been released and we’re so far in for this we’ve almost disappeared completely!

The movie sees Matt Damon joining a battle on The Great Wall far beyond anything in the history book as it seems the wall is the world’s last defence against a horde of marauding monsters.

It sounds nuts. It looks nuts. It probably IS nuts, but it’s our kind of nuts.

What do you all think?

The Great Wall is an upcoming 2016 American-Chinese epic historical fiction action-adventure monster film directed by Zhang Yimou and written by Tony Gilroy, Carlo Bernard, Doug Miro, Max Brooks, Edward Zwick, and Marshall Herskovitz. The film stars Matt Damon, Jing Tian, Pedro Pascal, Willem Dafoe, and Andy Lau.

Principal photography began on March 30, 2015, in Qingdao, China. The film is scheduled to be released in China on December 16, 2016 and in the United States on February 17, 2017.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
