The Great Wall director Zhang Yimou addresses Matt Damon 'racist' casting

In the English-language film directed by Zhang Yimou, Damon plays a European soldier who fights monsters on the Great Wall of China.

The Great Wall, which hits cinemas in 2017, marks the most expensive film ever shot entirely in China, having a budget of $135 million.

Yimou has since defended the film, stating how “The Great Wall is the opposite of what is being suggested.”
