“The Shadow’s Edge” Theatrical Poster
Now that the film has held the No. 1 position at the China box office for four consecutive weekends, director Larry Yang (Ride On) and producer Victoria Hon (Mountain Cry) are open to cash in on a sequel to their recent Jackie Chan action-thriller, The Shadow’s Edge (read our review).
“We’re considering the idea of a sequel, but right now we’re unsure what direction it will take,” Yang says. “I don’t want to repeat myself so I will very likely find a new approach. We’ll see how that goes,” Yang told Variety.
In The Shadow’s Edge, Jackie Chan stars as a retired surveillance expert from the Macau Police Service, who is rehired by the Police Force to collaborate with a team of elite young detectives to help capture a group of cunning thieves. In a tense confrontation between traditional tracking techniques and state-of-the-art technology, the police and criminals engage in a battle of wits, setting the stage for a cat-and-mouse showdown between good and evil (via Deadline).
The Shadow’s Edge was released domestically on August 16th. The film had a limited theatrical U.S. release on August 22, so we anticipate a wide official U.S. release date soon.
U.K. audiences can catch it on October 3rd from Trinity CineAsia. Watch the Trailer below:
I would be down for a potential sequel.
Although I would not like it to be rushed, I also don’t want the window of opportunity to go away with having Jackie Chan and Tony Leung Ka Fai back again. Also, it would be nice if Shadow’s crew got more screentime as well.

Not sure they’ll release it again.
