China Vision Media Group today confirmed plans to back Police Story 2013, an extension of the New Police Story franchise (see Film Business Asia 20 Sep 2012).
The company, headed by veteran producer Dong Ping, said that Jackie Chan would again play the lead role in the film to be directed by Ding Sheng. Ding previously collaborated with Chan on Little Big Soldier. However it also said that the role would take Chan "one step away from his signature action movies."
The film will be co-financed by Wanda Film and TV Media and hit cinema screens in 2013.
Chinavision said that it has been offered a RMB 1 billion credit line by Bank of Beijing intended to help it expand its entertainment businesses, and also hinted at co-production of a movie with China Film Group. Apart from announcing Ying Li as director and the promise of top Hollywood stars, it disclosed no details of the project.
