Jackie Chan is THE SPY NEXT DOOR

Jackie Chan is not ready to give up on his Hollywood action comedies just yet, The Hollywood Reporter say he has just signed on to star in The Spy Next Door - a Relativity Media production for director Brian Levant.

Levant is a veteran of family comedies, in fact he has never done anything else. His CV reads Beethoven, Jingle all the Way, The Flintstones, Problem Child 2, Snow Dogs and Are We There Yet?

In a project that sounds undoubteledy like it was written for Chan, the movie centers on him as a guy called in to baby-sit his neighbour’s children but has to fight off secret agents who come to attack the home after one of the kids accidently downloads a secret Government code from the web

The script was written by Jonathan Bernstein and Jim Greer (they came up with the story for Just My Luck)
and should be Chan’s next movie after his upcoming drama The Shinjuku Incident due out in Hong Kong next month

JACKIE CHAN DOING THE SPY NEXT DOOR.

So Jackie Chan is working in US working on new action comedy The Spy Next Door which it would be rubbish just like his other movies The Medallion and The Tuxedo.
Chan should do another US action movie based on the video game series called Virtua Fighter,
Jackie Chan should get the part in Virtua Fighter to play Lau Chan and Scott Adkins to star as Brad Burns and Kimbo Slice as Jeffry.
So I think Virtua Fighter would be a good action film for Chan.
Thank you.
