New Poster For Police Story 2013
From the looks of the poster art to Jackie Chan's upcoming film Police Story 2013,
it appears this will be more of a dramatic and gritty kind of animal
compared to the comedic, stunt-heavy action thrill rides from the
classic Police Story series.
Directed by Sheng Ding (Little Big Soldier, Underdog Knight 1 & 2), the film is not related to the previous installments, with Jackie playing a mainland China Interpol officer sporting a new crew-cut hair style instead of the traditional long-haired daredevil Hong Kong cop and mainland Chinese actor Liu Ye (Beginning of the Great Revival, City of Life and Death) has been cast as the villain. The story somehow involves a kidnapping case and Chan must use his wits to save the lives at stake before time runs out.
The theatrical release date in China is on December 24th. You can click the image below to enlarge.

Two Jackie Chan projects unveiled
Jackie Chan’s successful collaboration
with Chinese studio Huayi Brothers will continue later this year with
the production of two more films — one set in New York and the other in
the vast deserts of rural China.
Hot on the heels of the success of
CZ12, the action comedy which generated $138 million at the mainland
Chinese box office earlier this year, Chan will be producing and
starring in the tentatively-titled Manhattan, a film which sees the Hong
Kong star playing “a dark hero” who “converses with love and hate”,
according to a statement released at a press conference in Shanghai.
Meanwhile, Wolf Flag (a tentative Chinese title for the second project)
will see Chan star in a “mournful ode concealed in the stricken desert”.
Both films are slated for release in 2014.
Part of a slate of upcoming projects
that Huayi Brothers dubbed The H Files, the two Jackie Chan films are
joined by the previously-announced David Ayer’s Fury, the Brad
Pitt-starrer co-produced by the studio and QED.

What movies Jackie Chan really wants to make
Jackie Chan might be known for Chinese kung fu classics and Hollywood
action comedies, but what he's really itching for is a bit of serious
drama.
Chan, who started out as a child performer, says despite his more
than 200 movie appearances, he's yearning to stretch out as an actor —
and perhaps even make a musical.
"I want to show the audience I not only can fight, do stunts, also
I'm a pretty good actor," the Chinese action icon and filmmaker told CBC
News on Thursday.
"I can do Rush Hour. I can do Legend of Drunken Master. I can do Karate Kid. Then I come back to do [Chinese Zodiac]. Then I go back and maybe I do Sound of Music."
The star of Hollywood hits Rush Hour, Shanghai Noon and the forthcoming Chinese Zodiac is on a brief visit to Toronto to introduce screenings of his Chinese-language classics Police Story and Drunken Master, featured on the lineup of TIFF's Century of Chinese Cinema summer program.
In the video above, Chan talks to CBC's Jessica Wong about honouring
cinema of the past, advice for filmmakers eager to access the Chinese
market, which actors he admires and potentially sharing the screen with
Sly Stallone.
Jackie Chan Picks A Fight With Bruce Lee
For a young martial arts performer, getting to act opposite Bruce Lee was a huge honour - and Jackie Chan got the chance on the set of 'Enter the Dragon'. But things didn't exactly go according to plan.
When Bruce accidentally hit Jackie in the head, he felt awful. Which allowed Jackie to spend a little quality time with his idol.
Jackie's in Toronto to introduce screenings of three of his classic films, 'Drunken Master', 'Police Story', and 'The Legend of Drunken Master'. All three are screening at the TIFF Bell Lightbox.
