On the run from desert tribesmen in Medieval China, Western mercenaries William Garin and Pero Tovar stumble upon the awesome Great Wall and its mysterious defenders. They are reluctantly taken in, yet are refused permission to leave... but the more time they spend with The Nameless Order, the more it becomes clear that there are far worse things out in the desert than barbaric tribesmen. The Great Wall was built to repel a far more powerful and horrifying enemy, and so William and Pero are forced to fight for their lives in a bid to discover what is most important to them. The Great Wall: The Art of the Film chronicles the making of this landmark East-meets-West production, accompanied by insight and interviews with key cast and crew, including a foreword by director Zhang Yimou. This official companion book takes an in-depth look at the artwork and design of this extraordinary film. Some of the most intricate inner workings of the wall and its arsenal of weaponry are revealed, along with designs of The Nameless Order s livery, blueprints of key locations and vivid concept art of the terrifying Tao Tei. Packed with fascinating storyboards, sketches, final film frames and behind-the-scenes shots from the set, The Great Wall: The Art of the Film is a stunning celebration of an epic movie that no fan should miss.
