According to the Hollywood Reporter &#8211;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Chan will be producing and starring in the tentatively-titled <strong>Manhattan<\/strong>, a film which sees the Hong Kong star playing \u201ca dark hero\u201d who \u201cconverses with love and hate,\u201d according to a statement released at a press conference in Shanghai on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <strong>Wolf Flag<\/strong> (a tentative Chinese title for the second proejct) will see Chan star in a \u201cmournful ode concealed in the stricken desert.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Huayi Brothers are the ones who produced Chan&#8217;s recent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2013\/03\/18\/review-jackie-chans-chinese-zodiac\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Chinese Zodiac<\/strong><\/a>, which still doesn&#8217;t have a US distribution deal. The film earned $138 million at the mainland Chinese box office and as the film only cost $26 million, I can see where they would want to stay in the Jackie Chan business for a bit longer. Hopefully for Manhattan, which I am sure will get a name change once Woody Allen&#8217;s lawyers hear about it, Chan and complany will film in New York City and not try to pass off Vancouver as the Big Apple they way they tried in 1995&#8217;s <strong>Rumble In The Bronx<\/strong>.
