Prolific action stars Jackie Chan and Arnold Schwarzenegger will stand side by side on the big screen. While the two are tied up, this is not a Rush Hour-Terminator crossover. Instead, The Mystery of the Dragon Seal: Journey to China is a fantasy film that, after a few hiccups, finally has a release date – but only in China and Russia for now.
The Hollywood Reporter confirms that the film will hit China and Russia on August 16.

Unfortunately, there is no confirmation on when or if the fantasy film will debut in other regions.
According to THR’s story, Journey to China will feature “wizards, princesses, martial arts masters and” the king of all dragons “”, with Chan and Schwarzenegger playing a master wizard and a towering captain respectively. of ship. The film also stars Charles Dance (Ghostbusters), Christopher Fairbank (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1), Igor Jijikine (Forbidden Empire) and Martin Klebba (Jurassic World). The recently deceased Blade Runner star Rutger Hauer also appears in the film.
Directed by Russian filmmaker Oleg Stepchenko, Journey to China is the sequel to his 2014 film Forbidden Empire, a free-to-play adaptation of a horror novel by a Russian writer named Nikolai Gogol. Journey to China sees British actor Jason Flemyng (X-Men: First Class) tasked with mapping the Russian Far East. Flemyng, who starred in Forbidden Empire, returns to his role as an 18th-century English explorer who travels east and encounters a plethora of dark mysteries along the way.
