Jackie Chan, Sylvester Stallone team up for 'Ex Baghdad'

The Kung Fu master and Hollywood's action legend are coming together for a movie.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Jackie Chan and Sylvester Stallone are teaming up for an action movie named ' Ex Baghdad.'

The 'Need for Speed' helmer, Scott Waugh, is in negotiations to direct the project.

The story centres on two ex-special forces soldiers who must escort a group of civilians along Baghdad's Highway of Death to the safety of the Green Zone.

Talent International is set to finance with Chan, Hans Canosa, Esmond Ren and Joe Tam producing. The project is budgeted at 80 million USD, which sources say is one of the highest for a Chinese production.
