Gravitas Ventures, a Red Arrow Studios company, has acquired North American rights to the Stanley Tong and Jackie Chan action film, “Vanguard.” Directed by Stanley Tong, “Vanguard” marks the ninth collaboration between the director and Jackie Chan. “Vanguard” is a globe-trotting story filmed in London, Dubai, Zambia, and an ancient city in India and features high-stakes action sequences that take place over air, land, and sea. “Vanguard” also stars Yang Yang, Ai Lun, Mu Qimiya, Xu Ruohan, and Zhu Zhengting. Gravitas Ventures is planning a wide theatrical release of “Vanguard” in the U.S. and Canada including drive-ins and IMAX theaters on November 20th.
Covert security company Vanguard is the last hope of survival for an accountant after he is targeted by the world’s deadliest mercenary organization.
“My latest action movie ‘Vanguard’ is coming out on November 20th 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. 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 North American audiences enjoy it. And, I’m so happy to be partnering with Gravitas for the release,” said Director Stanley Tong.
“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. ‘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,” said Cameron Moore, Gravitas Ventures Senior Manager, Theatrical Distribution.
Gravitas Ventures Vice President of Acquisitions, Tony Piantedosi negotiated the deal with Shanghai Lix Entertainment.
