Legendary movie action hero Jackie Chan will star in and produce his next blockbuster film Bleeding Steel in New South Wales, the first film announced under the NSW Government’s $20 million Made in NSW fund.
This is the first time Jackie Chan has filmed in Australia for almost 20 years.The production will pump more than $20 million into the local economy and support local film industry professionals, including stunt, safety and rigging crews, by providing them with the opportunity to work on a film alongside one of the world’s leading action heroes.
Bleeding Steel will be the biggest budget Chinese film to ever shoot in Australia and will cast 40 NSW actors and dozens of local extras as well as create 200 production jobs.
Mr. Chan will discuss his work and iconic films at an ‘In Conversation’ event on 6 August at the Sydney Opera House, in association with Screen NSW.
Heyi Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures Asia, the China production arm of the Village Roadshow Group, are co-producing Bleeding Steel.
