Jackie Chan Set to Star in Joe Carnahan's New Action Film FIVE AGAINST A BULLET
Jackie Chan is set to star in a new action movie called Five Against A Bullet, which is being developed by Joe Carnahan. Carnahan is the absolutely crazy director that has brought us films such as Smokin' Aces, The A-Team, The Grey, and Stretch. The guy has a tendency to do some insane things in his movies, so the fact that Chan is teaming up with him for an action movie makes complete sense.
Carnahan has been working on this project since 2014, and the story is set in a small Mexican town that is under attack by a drug cartel. It follows five "world-weary bodyguards who are signed on to protect a Mexican politician after his father is murdered by a cartel, ahead of an election."
Jackie Chan is set to play one of these bodyguards, and there's no doubt we'll get to see him involved in some incredibly badass fight sequences and stunts. As of right now, Carnahan is only attached as a writer on the film, but there's a good chance that he'll end up directing it.
Chan has a few other movies in development that will be coming out called Railroad Tigers, Bleeding Steel, and The Foreigner, so make sure to keep an eye out for those!
