The trailer for the next joint project of the legend of combat cinema has appeared online. Jackie Chan and director Stanley Tuna (“Rumble in the Bronx,” “Myth”) entitled "Vanguard" (Vanguard).
We have already wrote about this project of two luminaries of Chinese action, however, they did not think that the film's trailer would appear so soon, overtaking Chan's expected Hollywood film "Project X".
Thun's new film is about a detachment of professional warriors guarding the daughter of a wealthy businessman. The squad led by the hero Chan is engaged in the safety of a girl who is being hunted by a global terrorist organization.
However, Grandpa Jackie has more of a supporting role, and the rising action star is in the leading position. Yang Yang (TV series "Four", "World of Martial Arts"). The rest of the cast includes: Mia Muzi ("The Monkey King 2"), Ai Lun (“The Human Comedy”) and others. I am glad that we will see familiar names in the roles of villainous Europeans: Brahim Achabbake ("Undisputed 4"), Kan Aydin (“Plan B: Screw Plan A”) and Andrew Dash ("Heaven is on Fire").
The film should be released in early 2020, but there is no exact premiere date yet. But there is a trailer.
The next film in our selection is not directly related to hand-to-hand combat, but we cannot help but mention it due to the fact that the film stars iconic actors of combat cinema Jackie Chan и Jackie Wu. We're talking about a disaster movie "Climbers" (The Climbers).
A film directed by a classic Chinese cinema Daniel Lee ("Black Mask", "14 Blades", "Dragon Sword") is based on his own script, which is based on the true story of how a group of Chinese climbers tries to conquer Everest.
Played the main role in the film Jackie Wu (duology "War of the Wolves"), and Jackie Chan (Police Story franchise) companion role. The rest of the ensemble cast is filled entirely with stars: Zhang Ziyi ("Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon") Jing Boran (duology "Hungting a Monster"), Zhang Yi (“Brotherhood of Blades 2”) and other actors.
The film will be released in its homeland 30 September 2019 years.
The Russian-Chinese unfinished construction project called "The Mystery of the Dragon Seal" director Oleg Stepchenko ("Viy 3D").
We so wrote a lot There is no point in repeating anything about this project. Let us only recall that "The Mystery of the Dragon Seal" is a long-suffering sequel "Viya" 2014. In the end, however, the creators decided to abandon the direct plot continuation and the films are united only by the character of the English actor Jason Fleming (“Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels”), who in both films plays the role of traveler and cartographer Jonathan Green.
Here's the official synopsis: English traveler Jonathan Green receives an order from Peter the Great to produce maps of the Russian Far East. He again has a long journey ahead, full of incredible adventures, which will lead him to China. The cartographer will encounter a lot of dizzying discoveries, unexpected encounters with strange creatures, Chinese princesses, masters of deadly martial arts and Lung Wan himself, the King of all dragons. What could be more dangerous than looking into Viy's eyes? Unless we meet him again. What will be stronger this time - the unshakable skepticism of the scientist or the ancient black magic that has long seized power in the Eastern lands?
In addition to Fleming, other foreign actors took part in the film, including Chinese: Rutger Hauer ("Blade Runner") Charles Dance (TV series "Game of Thrones"), Martin Klebba (Pirates of the Caribbean franchise) Yao Xintong ("Armor of God 3: Zodiac Mission"). The camp of Russian actors is filling up Pavel Volya ("Plato"), Yuri Kolokolnikov ("The Hitman's Bodyguard") Andrey Merzlikin ("Brest Fortress"), Anna Churina (“Manticore”) and others.
Fans of action cinema should be interested in participating in the project of the stuntmen association Jackie Chan and the master himself, who will meet in a long-awaited battle with another action icon - Arnold Schwarzenegger (Terminator franchise).
The film is about to be released in China. 29 of August, and in Russian - 19 September 2019 years.

Added the second trailer for "Mountaineers".
“Avangard” leaves the impression of a strong middle peasant. And after the trailer for “The Seal of the Dragon,” I even wanted to watch “Viy.”
