Bona Film Group, one of China’s leading movie studios, is poised to release Jackie Chan-starring “A Legend” on July 12. The film leads off the firm’s summer distribution slate.
“A Legend” is pitched as a $50 million sequel to the 2005 action romance “The Myth” that involved both Chan and directorStanley Tong. Chan plays an archaeologist who discovers a powerful jade artifact that sends him and his assistant back to a tumultuous period in the Western Han Dynasty (206 B.C.-A.D. 24). The role of the assistant is played by Chinese pop star Lay Zhang (aka Zhang Yixing), a veteran of 2023 hit “No More Bets” and Tong and Chan’s 2017 joint effort “Kung Fu Yoga.”
