Jackie Chan is always enjoyable in movies. And we all know he cannot act, but what he does do is always amusing and very entertaining. So it is no surprise that once again Jackie Chan is doing a family friendly action comedy flick. The Spy Next Door, directed by Brian Levant will make Jackie a babysitter.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jonathan Bernstein and Jim Greer are writing the screenplay for The Spy Next Door, which centers on a man (Chan) who is called to baby-sit his neighbor’s children and winds up having to fight off secret agents after one of the kids inadvertently downloads a secret code.
Sounds a lot like the same formula that brought us Hulk Hogan’s Mr.Nanny & Suburban Commando as well as Vin Diesel’s The Pacifier. This hardline bodyguard/ninja/secret agent with skills to actually handle the situation made comedic when you add children has been done before.
Chan will likely take this role to the same place most of his “caught in a situation” type things go. Funny.
