Après Gong Li et Mickey Rourke en Saint Vincent, voici Gong Li la "femme" de Mickey Rourke en Genghis Khan

Apparemment, du moins, M. Rourke sera vraiment en Genghis Kan sous la houpelette de RAZ qui a déjà commis

Pour "information" :

Now this will be interesting to see! Actor Mickey Rourke revealed to the Orlando Sentinel recently (via The Wrap) that he will be playing Genghis Khan in a new biopic movie being directed by John Milius. "I’m playing Genghis," Rourke said. "John wrote [the] piece [as] told from the son and grandson’s point of view, how they saw this mythic figure from their family. You see him in flashbacks, back when he was in his mid-40s." Interesting concept and bold to cast Rourke in the role. I'll say that he has the potential to knock it out of the park with this one, although Milius hasn't directed anything since Rough Riders on TV in 1997.
Milius is mainly a screenwriter, known for his scripts for Dirty Harry, Magnum Force, Apocalypse Now, Conan the Barbarian, and Red Dawn. He also directed Dillinger, Conan, Red Dawn, Farewell to the King, and Flight of the Intruder, but hasn't done anything in the last decade. Rourke seems to be a bit skeptical, too, despite agreeing to the role. "I read his script and you know, the man is known for his tough writing. He wrote Conan and Dirty Harry and Apocalypse Now, and it’ll be interesting to see how he works behind the camera." The production will shoot in India and possibly China, but no word on when it's supposed to start.
One reason Rourke took the role is because of his love of dogs (remember his chihuahua?) and apparently Khan was a dog lover, too. "The Mongols used dogs in battle, and dogs rarely made it out of the battle. But in one instance, in this script, [Khan] orders his men – 'Hold the dogs back.' He was looking out for the dogs. I like that." Um, okay? He also claims he can rides horses pretty damn well. "The horseback riding won’t be too much of a problem. I probably ride a horse better than I drive a car." This sounds intriguing and I'm interested, but I need to hear (or see) more about it before I'm totally sold. What do you think? @firstshowing.net - Alex Billington 22 avril 2010

Les grands rôles continuent pour Mickey Rourke, de retour aux sommets après des années d'errance.
Pour son prochain film, l'ancien boxeur se glissera sous les traits de Genghis Khan, un conquérant impitoyable et sanguinaire qui a régné sur l'Eurasie dans les années 1200. Signé John Milius, ce biopic a visiblement passionné l'acteur, comme il l'explique dans les colonnes du Orlando Sentinel : "J'ai lu son scénario et, comme vous le savez, l'homme est connu pour son écriture très particulière. Il a écrit Conan, Dirty Harry et Apocalypse Now, je suis curieux de voir comment il travaille derrière la caméra. (...) Ça va être une expérience fascinante, avec certaines scènes sûrement tournées en l'Inde et en Chine. Je n'ai jamais travaillé dans aucun de ces pays, alors ce sera nouveau. (...) Ce sera un personnage fascinant à jouer". @ninapeople.com 24 avril 2010

It appears the actor may be playing one of the mightiest warriors the world has ever seen - Genghis Khan.
In an interview with the Orlando Sentinel, while promoting Iron Man 2, Rourke said that he will be playing Khan in a film written by John Milius (Apocalypse Now).
Here’s what he had to say:
“I’m playing Genghis… John [Milius] wrote as a piece told from the son and grandson’s point of view, how they saw this mythic figure from their family. You see him in flashbacks, back when he was in his mid-40s. And back then, being in your mid-40s was being REALLY old.”
Rourke is reportedly excited about the role. But, if you’re wondering if the 57-year-old actor is up to what will likely be a demanding role, fear not as Rourke sounds well prepared:
“I rode quite a bit, back in the day. The horseback riding won’t be too much of a problem. I probably ride a horse better than I drive a car. There’s going to be some archery from horseback called for that I have to do, so that’ll be interesting, physically.” @http://screenrant.com - Ross Miller 10 février 2012
