UPDATE: Action legend Jackie Chan (The Foreigner) has been confirmed to join Wu Jing in Climbers!
The film follows “real-life expedition of Chinese climbers Wang Fuzhou, Gonpo and Qu Yinhua, who made a historic ascent up Mount Everest’s North Ridge in 1960. The Chinese team was the first to successfully climb Everest’s north side, which is known to be especially perilous. The trio famously left a small statue of Chairman Mao atop the summit before returning midway down the mountain to rescue a fourth member of their team who was unable to complete the climb.”
Jing Boran (Monster Hunt) and Hu Ge (1911) will play the other two climbers alongside Chan and Jing with Zhang Ziyi (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) rounding out the cast as a Chinese meteorologist who assists the mission. Chan’s role is expected to be more of an extended cameo.
Production is currently rolling with a release date targeted for Chinese New Years 2020.
