Jackie Chan to Star in Action Film Alongside a Spy Dog
Action, CGI Innovation, and a Unique Buddy Duo: Jackie Chan's Exciting New Film Announced
Legendary Chinese martial artist and actor Jackie Chan is preparing to start production on his latest project, Pawfect Agents. This film combines spectacular action sequences with cutting-edge CGI technology, promising a fresh approach to his signature style. The project has already garnered attention at the Hong Kong FilMart international film market, where distributors are showing strong interest.
Unique Storyline and Global Filming Locations
The plot centers around a seasoned secret agent nearing retirement who is compelled to return to action after an ancient artifact—a golden Sanxingdui mask—is stolen. His new partner? An intelligent, high-tech spy dog.
The adventure takes the audience across multiple countries, featuring scenes set in Europe and China, adding an international flair that aims to attract viewers worldwide.
Innovative Format for Jackie Chan
Directed by Leo Zhang, Pawfect Agents offers audiences a distinctive dynamic between its protagonists. Unlike many of Chan's traditional films with human co-stars, this story highlights animal agents as key characters, providing a novel twist to his action repertoire.
This concept blends adrenaline-pumping action with family-friendly adventure elements, expanding the film’s appeal across various age groups and genres.
Focus on Advanced Visual Effects
State-of-the-art CGI will be central to the movie’s visual storytelling. The creative direction for the digital effects is entrusted to artist Li Erpeng, renowned for his innovative work showcased in international art exhibitions.
Filming locations include some of the world’s most iconic sites. Notably, the production has secured rare access to the Palace of Versailles, where it will conduct 3D scans of the Hall of Mirrors—marking a first for a Chinese film crew. The team will also shoot at the National Museum of Qatar, adding cultural depth and visual grandeur to the project.
Production Details and Future Outlook
The film is backed by LinKEY Sanxing Film and Shangjia Film, with international sales managed by Cappu Films. Shooting is scheduled to commence in September 2026. Given its innovative concept, the integration of live action with CGI, and Jackie Chan’s star power, Pawfect Agents is already being regarded as a potential blockbuster on the global stage.
