Jackie Chan to star in action sequel `A Legend` – Moviesapple

Jackie Chan has come on board to act in a sequel to his 2005 martial arts fantasy-adventure hit `The Myth`. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the movie will be directed by

Chan`s longtime collaborator Stanley Tong (Rumble in the Bronx). The movie is titled `A Legend`. The sequel will have a budget of USD 50 million, which is considered to be a huge

amount for the Chinese film industry. Yixing Zhang (Kung Fu Yoga) and Coulee Nazha (Police Story 2013) will star alongside Jackie Chan in `A Legend.` Produced by Bona Film Group,

the film makes its market debut in Cannes with Taiwan-based Distribution Workshop handling worldwide sales. Chan will reprise his role as archeology expert Professor Chen in the

sequel. The film`s action begins when he notices that the texture of the artefacts discovered by his students during a glacier expedition is strikingly similar to a jade pendant he

had seen in his dreams. Suspecting that the pendant is acting as a bridge between the realm of dreams and reality, Professor Chen leads his research team on a journey deep into the

Glacier Temple, embarking on a fantastical adventure, according to Hollywood Reporter. Released in 2005, `The Myth` became Hong Kong`s third-highest-grossing film of the year and

reached a worldwide total of USD 120 million. At 69, Chan shows no signs of slowing down his legendary movie career. Also Read: Dave Bautista to star in action comedy `The Killer`s
