Jackie Chan Not a Hero in New Film
Hong Kong director Tung-Shing Yee's latest motion picture "The Shinjuku Incident", will be premiered as the opening for the upcoming annual Hong Kong International Film Festival.
It's the first time Jackie Chan has dropped his characteristic choreographed martial art moves to play a role in a literary film, according to sina.com.
Starring action superstar Jackie Chan, mainland actress Fan Bingbing, and Japanese actor Masaya Kato, the film depicts a Chinese immigrant's struggle to make a life for himself in the 90s, as part of the underclass of Japanese society. Much of the film was filmed in Tokyo, Kobe and Sendai.
Director Tung-Shing Yee - an actor-turned filmmaker versatile in producing, directing and screenplay writing- is a two-time prize winner of Hong Kong Film Awards, a top honor in Hong Kong's film industry. He is known for his in-focus interpretations of reality and in-depth perspective on ordinary characters from different social circles.
"The Shinjuku Incident" is set for screening in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia regions on April 2.
