Jackie Chan (Rush Hour) and Wu Jing (The Wandering Earth) will be co-starring in an upcoming big-screen epic about the first Chinese mountaineers to conquer the world’s tallest peak, Mount Everest.
They were the first Chinese team to successfully climb Everest’s north side, which is well-known as the most challenging side of the hill.
Climbers is currently shooting in China and will be released either on China’s patriotic National Day holiday or on Chinese New Year in 2020.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film is tentatively titled Climbers, and will be directed by Hong Kong filmmaker Daniel Lee and produced by Shanghai Film Group.
