Jet Li, Angelina Jolie targeted for New Movie Called "Great Khmer Empire"

September 22, 2010, 10:22pm

PHNOM PENH (Xinhua) - A famous Chinese action movie star Jet Li (Chinese name: Li Lianjie), and American movie actress Angelina Jolie are expected to be included in a new movie to be produced in Cambodia.

In a press conference held on Wednesday in Phnom Penh, Thomas Magyar, a project manager for the planned movie, and Tony Schiena, a project coordinator and a Hollywood star said the film they had planned to produce will be named as "Great Khmer Empire."

They said the film might cost approximately 70 million U.S. dollars and it will need about three years to make it, saying the large time span will be caused by the consultations with Cambodian government and historians on accuracy of the history as well as the script writing.

Both Tony Schiena and Thomas Magyar said, to date, they are looking at several famous movies stars such as Jet Li, Chinese action star, Angelina Jolie, an American movie actress, John Cena, world's famous wrester and South Korean movie actress Song Hye Kyo among others.

The movie will focus on history of Cambodia, especially, during the glorious period in 11th and 12th century under the King Jayavarman the VII, who until today, considered as the great King of Cambodia and who finished up the building of Angkor Wat Temple in Cambodia.

Angelina Jolie adopted a Cambodian son and was granted a Cambodian citizenship.

She was also a star in the famous movie titled "Tomb Raider" which some parts of the episodes were also shot in Siem Reap province where many temples including Angkor Wat Temple are located in.

A NEW production company has begun pre-production on a feature film to be shot in Cambodia with an estimated budget of US$70 million.
Thomas Magyar, the film’s executive producer, said yesterday that the movie, The Great Khmer Empire, would be set in the Angkorian period and aim to rival historic epics such as Hollywood films Troy and Alexander.
“This is a big movie. The estimated budget is $70 million,” he said.
Producers planned to approach Angelina Jolie to play the female lead, and John Cena, a seven-time World
Wrestling Entertainment champion and actor, to play the male lead.
Magyar, who is also CEO of the International Bodyguard and Security Services' Association in South East Asia, said the film would be produced by the company Parable Studio Green Asia, a collaboration among filmmakers from Cambodia, Hungaria and Hollywood.
He said that although the company had not yet secured all of the necessary funding for the project, he expected  the film to be completed within the next three years.
“We have already started the storyboard and the script,” he said, and added that Hungarian director Gabor Forgacs and Cambodian director Thourn Sinan had already “come aboard” the project.

Som Sokun, secretary of state  at the Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts, said yesterday that the ministry had not yet given official permission for the film, but that its general policy was to  encourage foreign productions.

“We are happy to welcome the Hollywood film production,” he said.

Magyar said he planned to meet with officials at the ministry on Monday to discuss the project further.

The announcement came at a press conference held at the Ministry of Information and attended by American actor and world karate champion Tony Schiena.

According to the Internet Movie Database, Schiena is known as “the bad boy of karate” due to “his unorthodox training methods and aggressive fighting style”.

It was unclear exactly what role Schiena would play in the production of The Great Khmer Empire, but he said that he intended to “help in whatever way I can”.

Schiena said he also planned to work on environmental, anti-human trafficking and other projects during his stay in the Kingdom.

Faites vos rêves à votre guise !

Ça ne vous coute rien de rêver, rêvez donc de ce que vous voudriez faire ou réaliser.

Imaginez que vous vivez dans un coin de vos rêves. Racontez ce que serait votre vie : votre habitation, vos activités, votre nourriture, votre environnement etc.

Ex. J’habiterais dans une île de rêve. Là-bas tout serait calme, harmonieux. Notre maison serait construite simplement en bois et entourée d’une végétation multicolore. Ce serait tellement agréable de faire de longues promenades au bord de la mer. Ce serait également très sympathique de marcher sur le sable blanc tout fin sous la chaleur du soleil d’été. Quand on aurait soif on boirait du jus de fruit tout frais. Ça nous rafraichirait vachement. Quoi de mieux !
