Jackie Chan here for Police Story 2013 gala premiere

SINGAPORE - Hong Kong superstar Jackie Chan will be here on Tuesday to attend the gala premiere of his latest movie, Police Story 2013, at the MasterCard Theatres at Marina Bay Sands.

He will also be walking the red carpet outside the ArtScience Museum from 7.30pm.

The 59-year-old veteran actor stars in this latest installment of the Police Story action-drama franchise. The last movie was New Police Story in 2004.

Directed by Ding Sheng, who previously helmed Chan's Little Big Brother, Police Story 2013 will see Chan taking on the role of mainland Chinese detective Zhong Wen, who finds himself taken hostage in a crowded bar by its angry owner. The character Zhong Wen is a departure from Chan's previous role in the series as a Hong Kong cop.

Chinese actor Liu Ye, best known for his role in Postman in the Mountains, also stars alongside Chan in this action blockbuster.

Police Story 2013 opens Asia-wide on Dec 24.
