HONG KONG (The Hollywood Reporter) --- Jackie Chan will star in two
big-budget projects for Hong Kong-based producer-distributor
Golden Harvest, one of which, "Sun Tzu's Art of War," is expected
to be the most expensive Hong Kong movie ever made.

cost HK$546 million-HK$624 million ($70 million-$80 million).

When is Hollywood putting out "The Book of Proverbs" on film?

While the title may work to bring people into the theater, Sun Tzu's Art of
War does not really lend itself to the motion picture format.
