Jackie Chan to Stage Musical Based on His Life

Jackie Chan is tuning up a musical based on his life.

The international action star and renowned martial artist says he is currently writing a stage adaptation of his best-selling memoir “I Am Jackie Chan: My Life in Action,” which will chronicle the lives of his parents, his early education at the Peking Opera School and his rise to stardom through music.

"We are looking for a director for the musical right now," he told reporters at a press conference yesterday at the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in New York.
