Jackie Chan is ‘The Spy Next Door’
Franck Tabouring
Martial arts star Jackie Chan is set to star in Brian Levant’s upcoming action comedy “The Spy Next Door,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.
“Spy” follows a man who babysits his neighbor’s kids and ends up batting a bunch of secret agents after one of the youngsters accidentally downloads a secret code from the Web.
Levant, whose credits include “Snow Dogs” and “Are We There Yet?,” is directing a script by Jim Greer and Jonathan Bernstein.
Although I pretty much hate the idea of Chan playing a badass babysitter, I have to admit I’m somewhat glad the project is not in development at Disney. If that were the case, we’d probably get to see another “The Pacifier” or “The Game Plan.”
Chan recently starred in “The Forbidden Kingdom.” He also recently completed filming “The Shinjuku Incident,” an action drama about a Chinese immigrant who travels to Japan to follow his ex-girlfriend.
