Matt Damon as Marco Polo

MattDamon.jpgLooks like Matt Damon is such a star nowadays the studios are creating movies just for him. Well, not quite, but Coming Soon are putting it that way with news from Variety that he’s set to star in a movie of Marco Polo:

Warner Bros. Pictures has set Kingdom of Heaven screenwriter William Monahan to write Marco Polo, a historical epic based on Polo’s autobiography “Travels” that will be a star vehicle for Matt Damon.

Variety says a deal is being negotiated for Damon to play Polo…

There’s certainly a lot of material there to write about. Polo spent 24 years as the first recorded Westerner to venture deep into Asia. You can bet your boots it will feature Kublai Kahn, Ken Watanabe anyone?
