This is news from yesterday, thought I share it..

Jackie Chan was at the "Ice-Hotell" in Jukkasjärvi (Sweden) last sunday (25/02).
His visit was to investigate the possibilities to be shooting some of a "maybe" upcoming movie-project.



Just a funny qoute..
"Jackie Chan likes snow, bus*, and swedish girls"

Well, I guess the makers of the Canadian movie we were discussing in another thread can pack it in, now that Hollywood has indeed taken a shine to the story after all. And really, with titans like these at the helm, we're talking Oscars all around!

Over the next few months, the revisionist view will come under even more cinematic fire. The rights to Chang's book have been acquired by producer Gerald Green and director Simon West (Lara Croft: Tomb Raider), who will soon start filming a $38 million project. California-based writer and producer Kevin Kent is negotiating with Oliver Stone to direct a film based on his own novel, Nanking.
