HOLLYWOOD ace Jackie Chan is set to star in the most expensive Chinese movie production ever to be filmed in Australia.

    The science-fiction thriller titled “Bleeding Steel” will be filmed across various locations in Beijing, Taipei and Sydney, including the iconic Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbor Bridge.

    “Bleeding Steel” is Chan’s first movie to be filmed in Australia after a 20-year lapse. In 1996, he starred in “Mr. Nice Guy” which was filmed across Melbourne.

    “I love Australia and (I always) come back here again and again,” Chan told reporters last week.

    “My parents lived in Australia for 40 years, (so) anytime we got (a) chance we come here.”

    “Bleeding Steel,” Chan’s first foray into the sci-fi genre, tells the story of a hardened special force agent Lin (played by Chan) who fights to protect a young woman who is an important witness for a major case, but ends up being a victim of the case himself.

    The flick also stars Aussie actress Tess Haubrich, China’s Erica Xia Hou and Show Luo from China’s Taiwan and newcomer Nana Ouyang.
