The Warrior\u2019s Way is Sngmoo Lee\u2019s feature film debut; and he was determined to make an impact with this project. \u201cWhen I first had a chance to direct a film, I wanted to do something new.\u201d says filmmaker Lee. \u201cA cross culture film was always my interest. It\u2019s my urge to see something on screen that I\u2019ve never seen before.\u201d<\/p>\n

Already a box office sensation in Asia, Jang Dong Gun makes his Hollywood debut with The Warrior\u2019s Way.<\/strong> Many are already considering him next in line, as Hollywood\u2019s next Jackie Chan or Jet Li<\/strong>. Jang Dong Gun says \u201cIt feels great to hear that [those comparisons]. But this is just the beginning. For now, I\u2019ll just continue to work hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

His colleagues are already comparing to other Hollywood greats.\u201c<\/strong>Jang Dong Gun is like Clint Eastwood for me\u201d says co-star Danny Huston. \u201cHe\u2019s got this wonderful face, which doesn\u2019t have to act or \u2013over express his sentiments\u2026 Which for me is perfect for a western!\u201d<\/p>\n

The Warrior\u2019s Way, released by Relativity Media, opens nationwide Friday December 3, 2010.<\/p>\n
