Jackie Chan Takes the Lead in the New Mountaineering Epic Climbers

Jackie Chan’s New Mountaineering Adventure

About the Film

  • Title: Climbers
  • Director: Daniel Lee (Hong Kong filmmaker)
  • Producer: Shanghai Film Group
  • This action-packed feature follows the real‑life saga of the first Chinese climbers who dared the North Ridge of Mount Everest in 1960. The trio—Wang Fuzhou, Gonpo, and Qu Yinhua—carried a tiny statue of Chairman Mao up the mountain, only to return and rescue a comrade who couldn’t finish the climb. The story is set to rewind that epic moment with a pinch of dramatic flair.

    Cast Highlights

  • Jackie Chan – the legendary martial‑artist‑comedian
  • Wu Jing – the now‑cultured action star
  • Jing Boran and Hu Ge – their fellow climbers
  • Zhang Ziyi – a meteorologist who lends the plot a dash of scientific credibility
  • There’s a touch of extra drama as the climbers face harsh weather, moral quandaries, and the relentless challenges that only the Himalayas can offer.

    Production & Release

  • Filming is underway in China, shooting both at breathtaking high‑altitude locations and cozy studio sets.
  • The release window? Either China’s National Day of the People’s Republic (a patriotic holiday) or the Chinese New Year in 2020—two festive periods perfect for a blockbuster.
  • Jackie Chan’s Return to “Rush Hour”

    After chewing the dusty cliff faces, Chan is circling back to a different kind of adventure: Detective Inspector Yang Naing Lee in “Rush Hour 4” alongside the quick‑talking Chris Tucker. They’re still “working on a few things for the script,” according to Tucker, who said:
    “It’s not in pre‑production. We’re working on a few things for the script. Jackie wants to do it. I want to do it. The studio wants to do it.”A thrilling fusion of espionage, high‑jinks, and street‑wise diplomacy—looking like the next chapter is already in the making.
    So, whether you’re scaling icy peaks or chasing neon‑lit alleyways, Jackie Chan proves he can keep the paces fast and the laughs coming.
