The first major Chinese blockbuster, The Wandering Earth, has been acquired by Netflix.
The film stars Chinese action star Wu Jing. The actor previously wrote, directed, and starred in Wolf Warrior 2, the military action flick that took in a historic $850 million in China back in 2017.
The Wandering Earth is directed by Frant Gwo, who said that his film will “show international audiences that a Chinese sci-fi can offer a new point of view.”
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the near-ubiquitous streaming service has landed the international online rights to the film.
