"Viva La Revolution!" - Watch Teaser Trailer for Jackie Chan's epic 1911

To mark a historic occasion Chinese superstar  Jackie Chan will mark his 100th movie with a historical movie 1911 and the first teaser trailer has arrived. 1911 is a movie based on the first chinese revolution of 1911 sometimes called Xinhai Revolution based on the founding of the Republic of China. The forces where led by one of the fathers of modern chinese communism  Sun Yat-Sen who led the nationalist forces against the imperialist Qing Dynasty. I was fotunate in 2009 to visit Yat-Sen's tomb in Guangzhou(his home town) he is an national hero maybe not as known in the west as other leaders.

Jackie Chan is one of the directors onboard this movie with Zhang Li (Red Cliff) been the main honcho, with Li Bing Bing, Joan Chen, Jaycee Chan and Winston Choa making up the rest of the main cast. This is a movie of epic proportions with Li as the director the movie is in safe hands to make sure the movie is of epic grand scale like Red Cliff, this is the centennial  celebrations of the revolution and there will be great celebrations nearer the date and what better than one of the nations film heros  taking centre stage.

No word on a UK&Irish release but the movie is getting a joint release in China and USA on October 12th.
