Monkey Peaches reports that shooting of Jackie Chan's new movie "Project BB" has already started. In the comedy action by "New Police Story" director Benny Chan, Jackie Chan plays a gambling-addicted thief who, along with two other crooks (Michael Hui and Louis Koo), kidnap the infant grandson of the richest woman in town (On-On Yu).
The original plan was to hand over the baby to a gang leader (Zhang Tielin) for some quick cash, but the middle man is unexpectedly detained by the police and three kidnappers have to deal with the baby by themselves. Somehow, the little hostage warms their hearts and they decide to do the right thing against the orders of the gang leader.
Also in the cast, Gao Yuanyuan from "Shanghai Dreams" plays Chan's on-screen girlfriend and Cherrie Ying plays the baby's mother. The original plan of casting Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao and Eric Tsang has been scrapped.
