The trailer for Jackie Chan’s latest film, "Shinjuku Incident" is now available online. The film will make its world premiere by opening the 33rd Hong Kong International Film Festival (HKIFF) which will run from March 22 through April 13, 2009.
Directed by Derek Yee (One Night In Mongkok), "Shinjuku Incident" marks a new turn in Chan’s career as he moves away from the action/comedy films that he is well known for. The film will feature very little of Chan’s trademark screen action but instead focuses mostly on the dramatic story.
In the upcoming crime drama, Chan plays an illegal Chinese immigrant in Japan. He gets involved with the local yakuza crime lords and is forced to commit crimes against his conscience in order to survive. The film will co-star Naoto Takenaka, Daniel Wu, Xu Jinglei, and Fan Bingbing with appearances by Asian film veterans Chin Kar-lok, Ken Watanabe, Yasuaki Kurata, and Lam Suet.
"Shinjuku Incident" opens in Hong Kong and Malaysia on April 2, 2009.
