Jackie Chan set to star in what sounds like the dumbest script ever written


From slashfilm, I've got some good news if you're into Jackie Chan and rage-inducing comedy: Jackie Chan has a new rage-inducing comedy coming out. From the Hollywood Reporter:

Jackie Chan is taking his martial-arts high jinks to the neighbors, signing on to star in "The Spy Next Door," an action comedy to be financed by Relativity Media and directed by veteran studio helmer Brian Levant.
Jonathan Bernstein and Jim Greer are penning the screenplay for "Spy," which centers on a man (Chan) who is called to baby-sit his neighbor's children and winds up having to fight off secret agents after one of the kids inadvertently downloads a secret code.


Well, at least the reasoning for Jackie Chan defending kids from secret agents is sound. It's because he's a spy living in a suburban neighborhood and babysitting some kids. And something with the internet. (I love the internet!)
