| Jackie Chan to get his death wish in ‘The Foreigner’ Posted: 08 Jun 2015 12:33 AM PDT  "Mr. Nice Guy" Chinese Theatrical Poster Perhaps Jackie Chan is taking a page from Liam Neeson’s playbook and realizing that, even at the ripe age of 61 years-old, there’s no reason he has to retire from a life of action. That would explain why the concept for the actor’s next project, titled The Foreigner, sounds so much like a movie Charles Bronson might have starred in his heyday. In the film, based on a novel by Stephen Leather, Jackie Chan would play a humble restaurant owner who is pushed to violence after a band of terrorists take his daughter’s life in an attack. Jackie Chan currently has severely movies on his agenda, including possible sequels to the popular Rush Hour and Shanghai Noon franchises, but The Foreigner is already expected to go before cameras in October. The film is currently without a director, although sources indicate Nick Cassavetes (Alpha Dog, John Q) is circling the project. Stay tuned for future updates on The Foreigner and other Jackie Chan features. Thanks to M.M.A.C. for the story. |
