Jackie Chan set for The Shinjuku Incident

[Jerry007]

Info from comingsoon.net:

Jackie Chan will produce and star in The Shinjuku Incident, a Japan-set immigrant drama to be directed by Derek Yee Tung-sing, reports Variety.

The film will be produced by Chan's JCE group and represented in international markets by Emperor Motion Pictures. Filming, to start before the end of the year, will include Tokyo and likely also take in Chinese locations.

According to Solon So, Chan's partner in JCE, the budget will be "bigger than 'The Myth'," which JCE also produced at a cost of $15 million. " 'Shinjuku Incident' will be Jackie's next film after 'The Forbidden Kingdom'," So said.

While plot details are under wraps, the movie will be set in the 1990s and feature lives of Chinese immigrants in Tokyo.

Saw the trailer last night with Slumdog Millionaire. Looks like a great movie with lotsa angst without the usual Jackie Chan humour.

Synopsis from movieXclusive.com:

Synopsis:

The Chinese migrant communities in Tokyo live shadowy lives. The Japanese neither acknowledge nor welcome them. They are shunned by the mainstream society, hounded by the yakuza, and go about their days under fear of being discovered and repatriated.

It is an alien world for Steelhead, an honest, hardworking tractor repairman from Heilongjian in northern China. Steelhead had decided to take the perilous journey to Tokyo after he lost contact with his girlfriend, who had arrived in the city earlier.

Trying to exist in the underbelly of Tokyo long enough to find Xiu Xiu, Steelhead has come to realize the migrants had to stand united if they wanted to go about their lives without fear of oppression by not only the Japanese underworld but also Chinese gangs.

In his search of a decent living, Steelhead unwittingly finds himself pit against the Japanese yakuza. Ironically he also discovers that Xiu Xiu has adopted a Japanese identity and married Eguchi, an ambitious up and coming yakuza chief.

Steelhead wins the respect of his friends by establishing a base for them and forms an uneasy alliance with Eguchi. When he helps Eguchi dispose of a rival, he is given the control of Shinjuku’s night establishments. But, uninterested in living a gangster’s life, Steelhead finds a new love and takes the chance to start a tractor repair business outside Tokyo. However, his peace is shortlived when word gets to him that his former compatriots were now being used by Eguchi to front the yakuza’s drug business.

Steelhead feels responsible for this turn of events and feels obligated to bring Eguchi down. He also has to bear in mind that if he goes after Eguchi, he would be destroying the newfound life of the woman he once loved. In any case, can one simple Chinese migrant take on the yakuza alone?

Movie opens April 2.

If my original plan had gone through, I would've probably watched this late last month during the Hong Kong International Film Festival with all the fanfare of this Derek Yee movie being one of two opening films of the festival. And I guess we all know how the the filmmakers decided to plough ahead with its release despite the Chinese censors not given its blessing yet, thereby effectively shutting it off the screens in China, but I reckon never off its streets given the relatively rampant piracy situation.

The version shown here is the edited version

[engshing]

just watched it today, not bad!
too bad jacky chan is a noob in this movie, no flashy moves from him if not sure can pwn all the japanese yakuza. the director shld have made jacky into a more fearsome character but then in the show he is really too naiive. jacky chan seems to have a hard time overturning his goody good shoes image. if the character make him into a badass char, the movie will be really awesome. the part where jacky cried after daniel wu got his hands chopped is quite good! must give him some credit. daniel wu is also very brilliant in his acting in this show. actually the rest of the actors are very good!

[croc1977]

got some cantoese...2 bad jackie and daniel speak mandrain...

[Mclairs83]

SEE THIS?!! WARNING!



I find it rather strange that you went to such lengths to tell us about what happens in the movie. Maybe you should tell us what you feel about the movie instead of telling us the plot. No point watching the movie if every one knows the plot right? :s8:

[ArtURtlE]

just watched this movie tonight...i thought it was pretty good...very different from Jackie Chan's mainstream movies which i thought made it stand out...in fact i prefer this flick to his other recent films...its a very big departure from the rest...storyline had a few loop holes but the graphic scenes and general plot made up for it :P

Overall : 4.3/5

[Swordsman]

actually plot is quite common, about greed, money, lust for power..

[ArtURtlE]

actually plot is quite common, about greed, money, lust for power..

errr based on today's context, out of 10 movies 9 contain greed money and lust...nothing out of the world...at least shinjuku managed to pull it off in a different environment visually

[kettler]

watch it over at genting wib family ....................

so so oni ............. storyline ish predictable ......

chop pple here n there ...............

gib it a 3 out of 5 stars
