Behind the scenes

Jackie Chan was tired of being typecast as an actor who always plays a 'Mr Nice Guy' type role in all of his films. In his most recent movie which he is currently filming, Project BB, also known as Project Baby or Baby Plan, Jackie Chan is to play a bad guy for one of the first times when some of his very early films before he even became famous are excluded.

Jackie Chan has wrote the story himself and Alan Yuen has wrote the screenplay for the film. The original idea was for two of his school brothers, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao to appear in the film alongside him but it appears that this will no longer be the case.
