Thanks to Craig D’Cruze for the following:
I have some news on John Cena acting in a new Movie with Angelina Jolie and Jet Li. Called the Great Khmer Empire. Apparently its going to take 3 years to film because of the Cambodian gov wanting it to be a true story not some made up hollywood story.
The following is an excerpt from Cambodia Today:
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.
