Hong Kong star Jackie Chan next to a de-aged version of himself in a promotional clip for the movie A Legend.Hong Kong martial arts film star Jackie Chan may be the leading man of the new Chinese fantasy flick A Legend, but he does not appear as himself throughout the film. At least, not in his current state.
A sequel to Tong’s 2005 film A Myth, which also starred Chan, the story follows archaeology expert Professor Fang , who notices that the texture of the artefacts discovered by his students during an expedition to a glacier is strikingly similar to a jade pendant he had seen in his dreams. Unfortunately, Chinese netizens are not taking to the movie or to Chan’s younger alter ego well. A one-star review of the movie on Weibo says the alteration – which was achieved through artificial intelligence – robbed the character of any facial expressions and made Chan look like a robot.
