PHNOM PENH, Sept. 22 (Xinhua) -- A famous Chinese action movie star Jet Li (Chinese name: Li Lianjie), and American movie actress Angelina Jolie are expected to be included in a new movie to be produced in Cambodia.
In a press conference held on Wednesday in Phnom Penh, Thomas Magyar, a project manager for the planned movie, and Tony Schiena, a project coordinator and a Hollywood star said the film they had planned to produce will be named as "Great Khmer Empire."
They said the film might cost approximately 70 million U.S. dollars and it will need about three years to make it, saying the large time span will be caused by the consultations with Cambodian government and historians on accuracy of the history as well as the script writing.
Both Tony Schiena and Thomas Magyar said, to date, they are looking at several famous movies stars such as Jet Li, Chinese action star, Angelina Jolie, an American movie actress, John Cena, world's famous wrester and South Korean movie actress Song Hye Kyo among others.
The movie will focus on history of Cambodia, especially, during the glorious period in 11th and 12th century under the King Jayavarman the VII, who until today, considered as the great King of Cambodia and who finished up the building of Angkor Wat Temple in Cambodia.
Angelina Jolie adopted a Cambodian son and was granted a Cambodian citizenship.
She was also a star in the famous movie titled "Tomb Raider" which some parts of the episodes were also shot in Siem Reap province where many temples including Angkor Wat Temple are located in.

Cambodia came first before "Thailand" and Thailand's culture is just a cheap imitation of Khmers'. You Thais shouldn't even be calling Khmers dirty when your country too have the same struggles in some areas! I don't hate Thailand but I really don't approve Thais that think they're so superior. And the Thai govenment are just upset that they can't have Cambodia's Angkor Wat. Is it because it's not close enough to the border as Preah Vihear? All those ancient temples in Thailand are Cambodia's built by the Khmer Empire. I bet you're probably using the monuments as decoration to attract tourists and make yourself look "ancient". Face it, your bloodline is washed out and so is your "authentic culture". Yap mane.
P.S. Your food is good though, if that makes you feel better.
xD you have good humor Jayada..... The ps made me laughing. ;p
you're damn right jayada! only a fool would believe that the angkor wat temple belongs to thailand and its people!
There are a lot of ignorant people in this world.
Thai is a thief who steal our land, cultures, and language .
I believe we would be better if our people try harder and don't waste time on alcohol.
Long last Cambodia! The Great Khmer Empire!
Nice to hear.
CHYEAAA REPRESNT THAI IS DA BEST!y'all can eat my ike and shut it imma poum in yo mouth!!
Don't like the choice of cast, it can be our native khmer ppl, and could help with the proverty and a chance to open up opprotunities for our khmer ppl who can be Dara Aik. Khmer history put into act by other international actor/actress is just not the feeling for me :|. Not feeling it for this movie because of the other international stars, but will be a great epic story for the immense history of our khmer empire.
What you think? Agree? you know like, The Three Kingdoms played by American ppl. just awkward,
