Screendaily reports that Jackie Chan's New Police Story has been purchased for US distribution for an undisclosed sum by Lion's Gate, Miramax and The Weinstein Co. at this year's Cannes Film Festival.
Directed by Benny Chan (Gen-X Cops), the blockbuster action drama stars Jackie Chan as a disgraced police officer haunted by the deaths of his unit after a botched attempt to bring in a gang of cop-killing thieves led by Daniel Wu (House of Fury). Nicholas Tse (Time and Tide) plays Chan's new rookie partner who convinces him to return to the force and finish the case.
