First look at Jackie Chan’s ‘Little Big Soldier’

International poster art and several production pics from Jackie Chan period action comedy LITTLE BIG SOLDIER (aka JUNIOR SOLDIERS) have begun circulating on the web. The poster, with its depiction of Chan in earthy period garb casually crouched with an arrow sticking out of his chest and a yellow bird on his head, suggests the movie might be a welcome comedic take on the big-budget, period war films that have been filling up Asian screens with the likes of RED CLIFF and THE WARLORDS.

A foot soldier and a general from rival states became the sole survivors of a war. As they’re pursued by the general’s brother who would kill anyone for the throne, the soldier also struggled if he should betray the general for the ticket home.

Written and produced by Chan, LITTLE BIG SOLDIER is directed by Ding Sheng and stars Jackie Chan, Yoo Seung-jun, Wang Lee-hom, Peng Lin, and Mei Xiao-dong.

The film is expected to be released in Asia this October.
