Chinese action film legend Jackie Chan will write, direct and
star in the third episode of "Armor of God" series, ten years after
his directorial debut in the first "Armor."
Jackie Chan released the news when promoting his latest work
"Rush Hour 3," which came out in theaters in the United States on
August 3.
The third "Armor" will be of a complete classical Jackie Chan
style, says Frankie Chan, executive director of the film, according
to the Beijing News.
"There won't be many special effects in the film, as Jackie is
strong enough to do the action part himself," Frankie Chan says,
"Actually he will challenge himself for something new."
The film revolves around the Kung Fu star fighting against the
evil power in a worldwide chase for a Chinese treasure. In addition
to making it another action blockbuster, the film is to shed more
light on the inner feelings of the figures.
According to Frankie Chan, the film's leading actress will be a
Chinese beauty who speaks English perfectly well. And she will be
accompanied by two other female roles speaking French and Mandarin
respectively.
Shooting is anticipated to start next April, after Jackie Chan
finishes acting in Hong Kong director Tung-Shing Yee's "Shinjuku
Incident."
