Plus: Titanium
Rain Kicks Off in June - 1 Nov. Jackie Chan is teaming
up on a cross-cultural thriller with Stanley Tong, who directed
the actor in "Supercop," "Rumble in the Bronx,"
and "Jackie Chan's First Strike." Their next project
is "Titanium Rain," a $40 million film that
begins shooting in June. Chan will play a guard of the Ming
Dynasty who chases a samurai for 400 years. The movie will
be shot in India, China and Hong Kong, with dialogue in English
and Chinese. Tong also choreographed Chan's stunts. "I
can push him past his limits," said Tong. "What
people like about Jackie is that he's a superhuman being."
