JACKIE GOES BACK IN TIME

t's been a while since we last saw Jackie Chan in a period film - no, The Forbidden Kingdom ain't counted.

The big brother of Hong Kong cinema is producing a huge period flick called Little Big Soldier, which will also star singer Wang Lee Hom.

Set in China's Warring States era, Little Big Soldier tells the tale of how a foot general (Chan) and a general (Wang) of rival states bond over an incredible journey.

Expect Jackie's brand of action-comedy when Little Big Soldier is released in February next year during the Chinese New Year holidays.
