Hollywood actor Mickey Rourke will be playing the role of Genghis Khan in a new movie about the ruler of the Mongol warrior.
Writer and director of the movie Conan The Barbarian, John Milius will oversee the project, reports the Daily Express.
"John wrote the piece from the son and grandson's point of view, how they saw this mythic figure from their family," Rourke told the Orlando Sentinel newspaper.
"You see Khan in flashbacks, back when he was in his mid-40s. And back then, being in your mid-40s was being really old," he added.
Genghis Khan was the ruler of the Mongol Empire in the 13th century. He died in 1227 and was buried in an unmarked grave in Mongolia.
