$30 million Genghis Khan epic being seen worldwide by film audiences PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 04 December 2007
ImageThe Japanese release of the Mongolian epic,  "Aoki Okami: chi hate umi tsukiru made" (Genghis Khan: To the Ends Of Earth and Sea), is being seen by audiences worldwide.  

Shot in Japan and Mongolia with a $30 million budget, the story depicts a more sensitive Ghengis Khan than is usual as the film delves into his earlier life. 

Japanese idol Takashi Sorimachi stars as Temujin/Genghis Khan. The film is in Japanese and subtitled for various audiences. 

During four months of filming in Mongolia, many local actors and extras were employed. During one battle scene 5,000 Mongolian soldiers appear, and over 27,000 people are employed as extras. 

The North American premiere of the film was on November 11 at the 10th annual San Francisco Asian Film Festival and the 5th San Francisco Korean American Film Festival.
