Ryan wonders what happened…

Almost three years ago, a strange press conference took place in Beijing.

They wore strange, striped rubber appliances on their heads which looked a bit like shower caps.

Actresses had also been a problem.

My idea is to make movies on the biggest scale there is, he told The New York Times.

I want to distribute movies to 160 countries.

I want it to be epic.

After that story was published, things went a bit quiet.

Then, in October last year, the first trailer appeared.

Its possible that youve seen it.

Reactions to the trailer were scornful.

The lingering question, though, is what happened to the finished movie?

Sadly, weve yet to hear anything from him at the time of writing.

Was that trailer punted out as a last-ditch attempt at securing a distributor?

That was several years ago.

One can always dream, right?
