There have been countless films made about Mongol leader Genghis Khan (including 2007’s Genghis Khan: To the Ends of the Earth and Sea), and now, a heavy CGI take, simply titled Genghis Khan, is on the horizon.

This Hasi Chaolu-directed fantasy epic will tell the tale of how Temujin would become the titular fearless leader after his father’s passing and the death of his entire tribe.

Genghis Khan is produced by French filmmaker Jean-Jacques Annaud, mostly known for The Name of the Rose, The Lover and Seven Years in Tibet. The film stars William Chan (L.O.R.D: Legend of Ravaging Dynasties) Lin Yun (The Mermaid), Hu Jun (As the Light Goes Out), Basen Zhabu (Red Cliff) and Ni Dahong (The Assassin).

Genghis Khan is currently in post-production phase and is expected to be released later this year.
