Dubai is one of the best cities in the world that attracts world-famous directors

It is so nice to see and know that the world’s most loveable and legendary artistes love to come to Dubai again and again for their filming projects, (“Dubai is a city that fulfils its promises, says superstar Jackie Chan,” Jan.5, Gulf Today).

The world known legendary artiste Jackie Chan who is presently in Dubai for his new film said he was impressed with the high quality of the filming infrastructure in Dubai and the support he has received for shooting his new movie. “Compared to some other countries, Dubai fulfills all the promises it makes.”

Jackie Chain-starrer Vanguard will wrap up the Dubai section of its filming by 22 March, 2019. The movie is being shot in the emirate through a collaboration between Shanghai Lix Entertainment Co Ltd, Dubai-based Alkatraz Production and Line Producer Maxine de Vere.

Directed by acclaimed action-filmmaker Stanley Tong, the movie has been shot extensively in Dubai in various places including Dubai Studio City, Downtown Dubai, City Walk and its surroundings, apart from other prominent locations and residential areas, with the support of the Dubai Film and TV Commission (DFTC).

The Dubai leg of the filming will be completed in a total of 30 days. Vanguard is expected to be released globally next year.

Being a resident of United Arab Emirates I am so proud of Dubai that provides a beautiful platform and advanced filming facilities including highly-equipped soundstages in Dubai Studio City to the international superstars to direct and produce their upcoming films. Dubai is one of the best cities in the world that attracts world-famous directors to shoot their films.
