The movie centres on a Chinese-run oil refinery that’s based in Iraq. When it gets attacked, its owners call in Jackie Chan to help free its workers. He in turn needs a bit of help from a former US Marine – that’d be Stallone – and action ensues. It’s being directed by Scott Waugh, who helmed the Need For Speed film. Waugh also worked as a stuntman on the likes of Speed and xXx. It does seem an uncomfortable area for a popcorn action movie, though. It should be noted that already, there’s been some concern that an action film of its ilk is being made around the “Highway Of Death.” Film director Lexi Alexander is just one of those who’s raised why this is an issue, and you can find more information on the ‘Highway Of Death’ here. It’s a tough read. No start date or release has thus far been announced for the movie.
