Have you seen The Foreigner by JC?
I have just watch both the mandarin version and the English version of The Foreigner with Jacky Chan. I loved it. One of the few movies with JC acting in non-comedy role that I have seen recently. I thought it was perfect for him at his age. It also raises the question of China\'s new role in Hollywood. I can see Chinese influence in Hollywood movies increasing. Is this just the beginning? Will more blockbusters be from China?
Let me know what you think.

Points:38Western movie goers will prefer white faces as stars. I can only point to JC himself, it took a long time for him to be accepted by mainstream Hollywood. It was mainly comedy movies like rush hour that gave him popularity in western culture.6 years ago -

Points:30I would be delighted with such a development, even if the increase in Asian characters was just a side effect and not the main goal, but I really don\'t think it will happen. I think the important people in Hollywood believe that Americans generally prefer to look at white characters, and that non-white characters don\'t have as big a box office appeal. It\'s possible that we will see an increase in Asian best friends/sidekicks/guys who didn\'t do it, but not in main characters. And the Chinese audiences will soon realise that to Hollywood, they are always of secondary importance, and be annoyed.6 years ago -

Points:30wasn\'t implying that it was the case here, but that it would be in the future. They\'ve made the step (rightly so) to casting asian actors in roles playing asian characters. But I think the next step will be a general increase in the number of Chinese actors in Hollywood films - ostensibly in the name of diversity, but actually for access to the massive Chinese audience. This is what I meant, not that they could have cast Jennifer Lawrence as Mulan, rather than if they had cast Fan Bing Bing in Passengers, they would have paid her less and probably grossed a lot more.6 years ago -

Points:30I enjoyed The Foreigner because I enjoy watching Jackie Chan blow people up for a change. But I think it was a mediocre movie with a boring and predictable plot and even worse messaging. Without spoiling too much, I just felt it was a “propaganda movie”.6 years ago -

Points:129My understanding is that this is a British co-production, so you\'ll need to be careful with the term \"Hollywood Movies\".6 years ago
