Hong Kong action star Jackie Chan will be high-kicking his way around Albuquerque soon. Gov. Bill Richardson announced Chan’s new flick, “The Spy Next Door,”
will film in and around the city in November and December. The
production expects to hire about 150 local crew members and more than
600 actors, including principals and extras. Chan plays a man
who is asked to baby-sit for his neighbor’s children and winds up
having to protect them from secret agents after one of them
accidentally downloads a code. The film will be produced by
Relativity Media and directed by Brian Levant, who directed “Are We
There Yet?” “Snow Dogs,” “The Flintstones,” and “Beethoven.”
