Has Jackie Chan sold his soul to the Hollywood devil? Two clips for THE SPY NEXT DOOR
There was a time long ago when I use to get very pumped to find out what upcoming projects is next for Jackie Chan but ever since Jackie gone to Hollywood, my reaction to his output there is usually met with extreme caution or the shaking of my head in disbelief, followed by "Oh no, what did Jackie do this time!?' or "C'mon Jackie, your better than this crap!" The sad situation is akin to watching a dear friend who was once a beautiful classy dancer degenerated into an abused stripper for a sleazy boss. Its really heartbreaking and depressing to see someone I care a great deal about get the short end of the stick. To illustrate my point, there is clip released online for the major-disaster-waiting-to-happen The Spy Next Door. Ouch! Why oh why, Jackie!?
Well, not all hope is lost. I'm still eagerly anticipating the latest news for Chinese Zodiac, an action adventure that is supposedly to start filming in 2010 (see previous post here). Why I'm excited for this project? Its the first time in years that Jackie Chan will be sitting on the director chair which means he gets to call all the shots and there is no pencil pushing Hollywood execs getting in the way of his creative genius. With unforgettable directorial films like Drunken Master 2 and Police Story, you know Jackie is going to pull all stops to ensure its up to par with his high standards of quality action and stuntwork.
