Jackie Chan Wraps ‘The Shadow’s Edge,’ Teams With K-pop Star Jun for Macau-Set Heist Thriller

by

Legendary action star Jackie Chan has wrapped up main filming for “The Shadow’s Edge,” a nail-biting thriller. This is his second project with director Larry Yang from China. Their first collaboration, “Ride On,” was a massive hit in Asia in 2023, breaking records as Japan’s top-grossing Chinese import and making it to the list of Malaysia’s top three Chinese films of the year.

In the vibrant, neon-bathed cityscape of Macau, I find myself reemerging from retirement, summoned by the local police to aid them. My mission: guide a group of talented young detectives in their pursuit of an ingenious band of robbers that’s been outsmarting law enforcement. The plot unfolds as a gripping battle between traditional surveillance methods and modern technology, often leaving us in a nerve-wracking game of cat and mouse.

This project brings together an impressive ensemble from various generations within Asian entertainment. Chan appears alongside Zhang Zifeng, who gained fame in “Sister” and “The Volunteers” series, as well as up-and-coming star Ci Sha, who recently made waves in the “Creation of the Gods” production. Notably, the movie also stars Wen Junhui from K-pop sensation Seventeen, marking a new chapter in his acting journey.
