Jackie Chan’s 100th film gets day-and-date release
Well Go USA has
picked up the North American rights to Jackie Chan’s latest film, the
historical epic ‘1911’. And in what may be a first for an Asian movie,
Well Go aims to give the movie a day-and-date release in the U.S. and
China.
The company is
primarily known for its home entertainment releases of mostly Asian
fare, but has been slowly moving into the theatrical sphere, most
recently opening ‘Ip Man 2’ in January.
By having the
day-and-date release, the company hopes to better tap into the Asian
community market and capitalise on Chan’s still-strong appeal.
Billed as Chan’s
100th movie, ‘1911’ tells of the founding of the Republic of China when
nationalist forces led by Sun Yat-sen overthrew the Ming Dynasty.
Winston Chao plays Sun while Chan is a high-ranking officer in his
army.
“We are honored to
be a part of ‘1911’ on many levels, not only because of its historical
significance, but also because it’s Jackie’s 100th film,” Well Go
president, Doris Pfardrescher said.
“Jackie Chan is an
icon, and it’s just thrilling for us to be able to bring this film to
his North American fans on the same day and date as Asia’s theatrical
release,” she added.
Chan co-directed
the movie with Zhang Li and the movie is seen as Chan’s latest effort
to move into more dramatic spheres as he matures.
Jackie and JJ Prods. and the Shanghai Film Group produced the movie.
