Jackie Chan’s latest action film, The Shadow’s Edge, has officially wrapped its principal photography. Directed by Chinese filmmaker Larry Yang, the film began shooting in October 2024 in Macau.
The Shadow’s Edge marks the second collaboration between Chan and Yang, following their successful partnership on Ride On. Released in more than 30 countries, Ride On became the highest-grossing Chinese film in Japan since 2022 and ranked among the top three highest-grossing Chinese films in Malaysia in 2023.
In The Shadow’s Edge, Chan plays a retired surveillance expert from the Macau Police Service who is brought back into action to assist a team of elite young detectives in capturing a group of cunning thieves. The film will feature a high-stakes battle between traditional detective methods and cutting-edge technology, offering an intense cat-and-mouse game between the police and criminals.
The film also stars Zhang Zifeng (Sister), Ci Sha (Creation of the Gods I & II), and Wen Junhui, the Chinese member of K-pop group SEVENTEEN. Additionally, Chan reunites with Tony Leung Ka Fai, his co-star from The Myth, for the first time in nearly two decades.
Hong Kong-based sales company Golden Network Asia will be presenting The Shadow’s Edge to buyers at the upcoming European Film Market. The film is produced by Victoria Hon (Ride On) and presented by iQIYI Pictures (Beijing), Tao Tickets, Hairun Pictures, and China ChenXiang.
The Shadow’s Edge is the latest Jackie Chan project to be handled by Golden Network Asia and Hairun Pictures, which previously represented films like Vanguard and Kung Fu Yoga.
