To say that Jackie Chan‘s had a hell of a time between late last year and now would, for what it is worth, be an understatement. Fortunately though, with no need to mention much on his personal issues, his continued career as a landmark star will soon garner him the billing of an IMAX/3D premiere for his newest period action adventure thriller, Dragon Blade, sporting enormous production value with all the trappings of an instant epic that has John Cusack and Adrien Brody also starring.
SYNOPSIS:
Dragon Blade, from director Daniel Lee (White Vengeance, 14 Blades), follows a Roman general (Cusack) who, after crossing into China, befriends a former high-ranking Chinese official, played by Chan. Set in 48 B.C., Dragon Blade tells the thrilling story of heroism, friendship and betrayal, which has never before been depicted on film.
Perhaps 2015 will service a nice bit of respite from earlier troubles as time moves on. Chan is still a busy man for his age and it’s great to see him put his energy and creativity to use, and the fans will obviously agree. Feburary 19 is the date for the film’s overseas release, so watch the trailer below, cross your fingers and hope for something stateside
