Too bad.
I suppose he was busy with another project.
Or maybe he's really in there and they just forgot to include him in that list. :D
I used to be "the man who loves the movies you hate".
Now I'm just "that weird french guy with a cat avatar who comes to BnB once a year for no reason and then disappears again".

Possible Spoilers!!

Shooting a scene.

Shooting another scene. That is Louis Koo Jackie is kissing. I'm not really sure what went on, but I think the director called for both guys to hug in the scene, but they couldn't do it right. On the next take, for a joke, they both kissed each other.

According the news reports, Louis Koo also suffered an injury. In the scene they, Jackie and Louis, have to go from bus to bus. Louis fell and needed some medical attention. It's mentioned using an adhesive plaster, so I don't think it was too serious.

It seems the frustrations of working with a baby is starting to wear Jackie down.

According to Sina (and the online translator) they started shooting another scene yesterday at the Shang Huan bus terminal. Many tourists were there and took photos of Jackie on set. Jackie politely smiled and waved to them all. The director handed the baby to Jackie for the upcoming scene. It sounds as if the baby was quiet beforehand, maybe it had had a nap previously. Unfortunately, as soon as the scene began the baby started to cry which made the crew panic a little. Jackie tried to play with the baby and comfort it, but it didn't help.

Later on Jackie "greatly sighs" and says that acting with a baby is very difficult but it is all a very good experience.

Papa Chan also showed up during the filming yesterday. Papa Chan and Jackie talked in one of the 3 buses the production company have rented for the scene, and talked for about an hour.

The following has come from various news reports --

Jackie was shooting Project BB once again yesterday.

When Matthew arrived on set, Jackie went straight for him. Matthew at first ignored Jackie, and even started to cry when he saw Jackie, so Jackie tried his best to cheer him up. He even placed a piece of movie equipment on his head hoping to make Matthew laugh.

The reporters asked if he would like to be a father again since he has been working with the baby. Jackie said no, but he wouldn't mind being a grandfather. He said even if it happened this year, it would be OK.

Jackie also said that Jaycee has not phoned him yet to offer his New Year greetings. But he is hoping when Jaycee comes back to Hong Kong very soon, they can both sit down and talk about what they have been up to and what the next year will bring.

Well, it's a tiny picture of what appears to be a tiny role, but I guess it'll have to do. Thanks. :)

btw, the Super Bowl Diet Pepsi commercial "Stunt Can" with Jackie was cute. I think you can view the whole commercial at Jackie's site: http://www.jackiechan.com/Jackie_Chan_D ... 9_384k.wmv

How can Pepsi get away with using Coke for real?

Surely that infringes copyright?

Nah, they've had commercials with both products making fun of each other for a few years now. Does seem harsh, though, doesn't it?

I've never seen that kind of thing in the UK. Must have stricter laws here.

Edit: I actually much prefer Diet Pepsi to Diet Coke

The official English title of Jackie's new action-comedy is "Rob-B-Hood". The former working title was "Project BB."

Rob-B-Hood? OK, so its a pun on Robin Hood (I guess), but I dont get it :? Project BB sounded like Project Baby as there's a baby in the film.

HHuh?

From Monkey Peaches ---

The principal shooting of Jackie Chan's Project BB is almost complete. These snapshots show Jackie Chan chasing the bad guys, who has kidnapped the baby, and Louis Koo tries to get onto the baddie's vehicle from the hood. In the comedy action by New Police Story director Benny Chan, Jackie Chan plays a gambling-addicted thief who, alone with two other crooks (Michael Hui and Louis Koo), kidnapped the infant grandson of the richest woman in town (On-On Yu). The original plan was to hand over the baby to a gang leader (Zhang Tielin) for some quick cash, but the middle man is unexpected detained by the police and three kidnappers have to deal with the baby by themselves. Somehow, the little hostage warms their hearts and they decide to do the right thing against the order of the gang leader.
