Jackie Chan’s 100th Film

Seems like there should be more excitement about this, right? That’s one helluva milestone, and one can only hope that people haven’t given up on Chan yet. After all, in between The Spy Next Door and The Karate Kid last year he released his most exciting film in years, Little Big Soldier, which proved that the old man still has a few moves.
1911 certainly looks like the kind of overblown period drama that’s so pervasive in Chinese cinema but I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt.
Trailer’s up on Apple, although it’s one of those ones that seems embarrassed that it’s not in English, hence the lack of dialogue- http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/independent/1911/
Film opens October 7th in limited release.
