The Bourne Identity star told the audience he jumped at the opportunity to work with Zhang, the director behind box office smash hits such as Raise the Red Lantern and Hero.
'So many of his movies just blew me away visually,' Matt explained according to The Hollywood Reporter. 'So few people work on that scale and nobody like him.'
'I've never done anything on this scale before. If I did it, it would have to be with Zhang Yimou.'

The Good Will Hunting star - who married his wife Luciana Bozán Barroso in 2005 - also added: 'The girls in this really are bad-ass.'
During an unanticipated Donald Trump mention, as The Great Wall may have been in reference to the presidential candidate's support for a massive wall to be built along the southern U.S. border and having Mexico pay for it, Matt shared a 'Happy Birthday' text from his father with the crowd.
'It said "My birthday present to you is letting you know that in exactly one month, we can kiss Trump goodbye. I doubt you'll ever get a better one. Let's keep the wall in the movie."'
The Great Wall is set for release in the U.S. on February 17, 2017.
