Journey to China: The Mystery of Iron Mask
Director: Oleg Stepchenko (“The Forbidden Kingdom”)
Cast: Jason Flemyng, Charles Dance, Jackie Chan, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rutger Hauer
Details: A sequel to the 2014 film “The Forbidden Kingdom” which was based on the Nikolai Gogol story “Viy,” that part historical drama/part supernatural thriller was shot in fits and starts over the course of seven years due to funding issues. It starred Jason Flemyng as early 18th-century cartographer Jonathan Green who undertakes a scientific voyage from Western Europe to the East and finds himself in a small village lost in the impassable woods of Ukraine and surrounded by sinister forces.

The follow-up has Green’s skill sought by Peter the Great in order to map the Russian Far East in a journey that eventually leads him to China where he has numerous colorful experiences including meeting the Dragon King. Flemyng and Charles Dance return and are joined in this outing by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jackie Chan and Rutger Hauer who co-star in the project which has a $50 million budget.
