Jackie Chan (The Foreigner) is currently putting finishing touches on The Diary, his first directorial project since 2012’s Armour of God III: Chinese Zodiac.

This upcoming China-produced, English-language drama – also written by Jackie – takes place in the early 1930s and is about a young man who leaves Shanghai to come to Europe and reunite with the love of his life.

If you’re expecting to see Jackie kickass on screen, you might find yourself disappointed. In fact, he doesn’t even appear in the film. Instead, he’s letting Noah Centineo (The Fosters), Kevin Kline (A Fish Called Wanda), recording artist Martina Stoessel (Violetta), his son Jaycee Chan (Railroad Tigers) and last, but not least, Andy Lau (Chasing the Dragon) fill the screen.

We’ll keep you informed with any updates regarding The Diary. In the meantime, Jackie is currently filming Project X, and his other projects, Viy 2: Journey to China and The Knight of Shadows: Between Yin and Yang, are months away from being released.

We now leave you with an on-set photo of Jackie directing The Diary, as well as the International Trailer for one of his greatest directorial achievements, Police Story:
