In the film, “A restaurant owner (Jackie Chan) goes on a mission of revenge after his daughter is killed in a bombing by rogue Irish terrorists.”
Director Campbell talks about Chan’s role in the film, “It’s a very unique role for him, not what you’d expect of Jackie Chan.
He’s playing a dead-straight role, a very quiet, determined old man with a singular focus of tracking down whoever killed his daughter.”
Chan adds, “It was important for me to do a role that was more serious, with a lot of emotion. To prepare, I imagined what it would be like to be the father dealing with that situation.”
Brosnan who stars opposite Chan reveals how he would go dark during filming the scenes, “The days that we worked together started with joviality.
And they ended in absolute anguish and medieval violence. Jackie has a wonderful sense of humor. But once that bell went off, that was it.”
This will mark the first time in which Brosnan will star in a film directed by Campbell since GoldenEye (1995).
Written by David Marconi, based on the 1992 novel The Chinaman by Stephen Leather.
Produced by Jackie Chan, Wayne Marc Godfrey and Arthur M. Sarkissian.
The Foreigner is scheduled to be released on October 13, 2017 by STX Entertainment.
