Monday 28th October 2002: Shanghai Knights Update:
Aint It Cool have posted a review of the upcoming Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson action comedy Shanghai Knighs. "Let me assure you that Jackie has NOT lost it. This is easily his best American movie. EASILY. From the opening scene, the way the fight was done I knew it was going to be more like his Hong Kong films (this fight doesn't even have Jackie in it either). In all of Jackie's American movies, there are only three or four fights. They are always too short and there really is only one great memorable one. In SHANGHAI NOON, the only memorable fight was Jackie with the rope & horseshoe versus the cowboys with guns". For the full review hit AICN now.

Friday 25th October 2002: Shanghai Knights Update:
Owen Wilson has been talking about the upcoming Shanghai Knights movie "I think it could be funny. It takes place in London and there's a scene in kind of Dickens type London with Jack the Ripper running around and stuff. There was a scene with the Big Ben clock, a whole action sequence involving that that was fun to do. Not really fun, it was more memorable because it was scary, the stuff we were doing, just being really high up and having to be attached by a rope and falling down."

The official website for Shanghai Knights has gone live. Visitors can read Jackie Chan's diary, where he has posted various bits of information on what has been going down on set. In the postings Chan has revealed that a spectacular set piece stunt will take place inside a huge replica on London's Big Ben. Other scenes will take place in Madame Tussauds waxwork museum, also in London as well as on a river barge that he says will include lots of fireworks and explosions. Chan also revealed that some footage has or will be shot at Prague Castle. Also, the site revealed more about the plot, which I have posted at the top of the page. Check out the official site for more details.

Meanwhile, a reader by the name of 'Sue' informs us that the "10 year old street urchin" is played by English actor Aaron Johnson, the star of "Tom and Thomas", a Dutch film to be released in America by Buena Vista.

Shanghai Knight will be set in London and will involve Jack The Ripper according to Canoe. Filming is to begin in February, in London itself and Owen Wilson will join Jackie Chan for the sequwl to last year's Shanghai Noon. "The premise this time is that Jackie and I go to England to try to stop Jack the Ripper in, like, 1890," he says, "Given the characters we play in these movies, it's going to be a bit like Abbott and Costello in one of their old scary funny movies from the 1950s." (appeared at Canoe.ca)

Variety reports that David Dobkin is in talks to direct Shanghai Knights.


22/7/01
About.com have done an interview with Shanghai Knights writer Alfred Gough. In the interview he does mention the inlvolvement of Roy, Owen Wilson's character, but Wilson has still not been confirmed to return. "The story is basically set several years after the original and Jackie is still in the old west. Roy has moved back to New York and something happens to Jackie's father in China and his sister chases the killer to England. So, Jackie gets a letter, teams up with Roy and then they go off to Victorian London and there's a big international plot. It's basically two fish out of water. Roy is sort of the ugly American and Jackie is Jackie, a fish out of water, so it's kung fu in Victorian England".


7/3/2001 - The proposed sequel to Shanghai Noon, Knights sees the return of Jackie Chan, but no confirmation of Owen Wilson yet. There's still no director attached either, but apparently it's a definate goer!

Coming Attractions posted a scoop following an interview Jackie Chan gave to a Hong Kong newspaper: "He has high hopes for the Shanghai Noon sequel, aptly titled, Shanghai Knights. He's really eager to work with Owen Wilson again, but that may not come to fruition because of 'another project Owen may jump on.' When Rush Hour 2 wraps up next month, he'll jump into Shanghai Knights in April. He's more excited about Knights than Rush Hour 2 because he has 'more creative control and input.'
