'Police Story 2013' - Jackie Chan Planning Another Return to the Series

Jackie Chan Planning POLICE STORY 2013

What's this? After making a great deal of noise about the upcoming Chinese Zodiac marking his final foray into the sort of high octane, high risk that built him into an international brand it appears that Jackie Chan may have one more kick at the proverbial can left in him after all.

The China Vision Media Group have announced at a Beijing press conference that Chan will re-team with his Little Big Soldier director Ding Sheng for what is currently being referred to simply as Police Story 2013. Given that the most recent entry in one of Chan's signature series - 2004 effort New Police Story - already began the process of pushing Chan's character towards more dramatic territory with others carrying the heavy stunt load it's quite possible that this will end up following that same mold and remain in line with Chan's promise to start slowing down. But, hey, no matter what it's a new Police Story film with the man who directed one of Chan's absolute best late-career offerings at the helm. And that's a very good thing.

I am in for another Police Story, too bad they can't bring back Inspector Jessica Hana Yang Chien Hua, would be great if Jackie convince Michelle Yeoh to come back one last time but I doubt it

...jackie should direct himself...
...he doesn't get enough credit for being a talented director...

I hope this is a sequel to the previous series and not the sequel in name only.

I really hope so too. As much as I enjoyed New Police Story, I'd much rather he returned to the original character. We can hope.

Cool News

[CaptainYoda]

This is great news!! More Jackie Chan is always good!!

[Greengoblin]

I have never seen this film which is odd is it good the original i mean.

I'm happy to see him return but hope this one is a little more 'on-track' than the last movie he did in the series for New Police Story. That just had a little niggle that irked me in the form of the kids. Yeah, they were anarchists and the leader was from a prime family of authority where he basically suffered from neglect and became what he did, but i just found the whole thing lacking a little in the end.

Jackie Chan was really good in the role though and it was a bit more edgy than his usual stuff so more of the same + the charm of old please

That's the one storyline I never saw from Jackie Chan....I'd like to watch all of the Police Story movies and I'll always look forward to another Jackie Chan movie!

Awesome can't wait!!

[Dragon Lee]

I kinda hate New Police Story so if its anything like that flick, Im setting my expectations real low.

[chrisron]

Interesting. I hope it will live up to the standards of the first four.

I like the poster. Looks like he's going back to the original series, and moving away from New Police Story. Pure speculation on my part, but that's the impression the poster gives me.

I thought New Police Story was really great, albeit a very difficult watch for me, as I can't stand characters who care about no one, and feel no remorse, but then a backstory was given, and the characters weren't the usual black/white crap ala Avatar, and a billion other Hollywood flicks, but people you could actually sympathize with, at least to some degree, and Jackie's acting was terrific, as was the final fight in the Lego store, but in general I like the "fun" Jackie Chan movies better.

I don't remember what the Police Story films were like.

Normally, I despise revenge plot movies.
