But did Damon know how bad the film was going to be while he was making it? According to some interviews, he did not. He said that he was drawn to the project by the director Zhang Yimou, who is known for his visually stunning films like ‘Hero’ and ‘House of Flying Daggers’. He also said that he liked the script and the idea of making a big-budget Chinese-Hollywood co-production that would appeal to both markets. He defended his role as a European mercenary who helps the Chinese army fight off monsters, saying that he did not take the role from a Chinese actor and that his character was originally written as a European.

However, after the film was released and received negative reviews, Damon admitted that he regretted making it. He said that he learned a valuable lesson from the experience and that he would be more careful about choosing his projects in the future. He also said that he was disappointed by the film’s failure and that he felt sorry for Zhang Yimou, who had to deal with a lot of pressure and interference from the producers.
So, it seems that Damon did not know how bad his movie was going to be while shooting it, but he realized his mistake later and apologized for it. Hopefully, he will bounce back from this flop and make better films in the future.
