The director is more than excited to see this movie out in theaters. “My latest action movie VANGUARD is coming out on Nov. 20 in the cinema. We filmed in 9 cities across 5 countries, London, Dubai, Zambia, India, and China. We’ve experienced so much during this production,” he wrote in a release. “Each time I work with Jackie, we are always trying to impress our audience with the best picture and idea. Especially this time, we put a lot of innovation in it. I hope the North American audiences enjoy it. And, I’m so happy to be partnering with Gravitas for the release.”
Theatrical distributors are thrilled to have new films to bring to audiences. Vanguard is a feature that centers on a big star and that should thrill most viewers. In a lot of ways, it’s a marriage of modern action and the kinds of films that made audiences fall in love with Chan.
“Upon my first viewing of Vanguard, I instantly became attracted to its big, fun, escapism that reminded me of those globe-trotting action adventures we are all so familiar with. The scope of this film is phenomenal, and the fact that it was filmed on location over land, air, and sea makes it a must-watch entertainment on the biggest screen possible,” Cameron Moore of Gravitas Ventures said. “Vanguard is a film that fills a Fall action-adventure vacancy, with the legendary screen icon Jackie Chan at the forefront. I can’t wait for North American audiences to see this film.”
