On June 23, according to foreign media reports, Von der Len will direct a new adaptation of "The Count of Monte Cristo", starring Jack Houston ("Atlantic Empire") and acting as a screenwriter, and the two will also serve as executive producers. This is also von der Leyen's second foray into Hollywood to direct a new film after directing the Netflix series "The Five Elements Assassin" in 2019.
In 2019, Feng Delun became the first Chinese director to independently direct a Netflix American drama by directing the martial arts drama "Five Elements Assassin". Previously, the American drama "Wasteland", directed and supervised by Von der Leyen, won the first place in the ratings of the new drama of the season. Feng Delun was originally an actor, and after setting up a model of acting and excellent directing, he has steadily played in the United States in recent years, and has gradually become a Chinese director recognized by Hollywood after Ang Lee and Wu Yusen.
The Count of Monte Cristo is a novel by the French writer Alexandre Dumas, first published in 1844–1846. The novel takes Monte Cristo promoting good and punishing evil and repaying favors and revenge as the central clue of the development of the story, the main plot is ups and downs, twists and turns, from which a number of secondary plots have evolved, the vignettes are compact and wonderful, but they are not noisy, and the plot is bizarre but does not violate the reality of life. For this reason, the Count of Monte Cristo is recognized as a model of popular fiction. After its publication, the novel quickly won the favor of a wide range of readers, was translated into dozens of languages and published, and was made into a film many times in France and the United States.
The Earl of Monte Cristo, directed by Von der Lenn, is a "blowout" of the original novel, set in Asia and the United States, where a destitute man, Nicholas Christo (Jack Houston), framed and betrayed and thrown into prison for more than a decade, is now trying to find justice in this more brutal and corrupt world. Film producer Constantine Pictures said the film will add some flavor of "Battle of Succession", "Old Boy" and "Rush to Kill" to create a hot and grand Eastern and Western story thriller.
