Edgar Wright (Baby Driver) Talks with Jackie Chan (The Foreigner) for the Talkhouse Podcast

The director of Baby Driver and Shaun of the Dead sits down for a chat with one of his cinematic heroes.

6:00 AM EDT on October 12, 2017

On the latest episode of the Talkhouse Podcast, Baby Driver's writer-director Edgar Wright sits down for a chat with the legendary actor, martial arts star and director Jackie Chan, whose latest film, The Foreigner, is in theaters from this Friday. A self-professed “fanboy” of Chan's work, Wright talks with him about his game-changing films Police Story and Project A; making it in Hollywood on his own terms; how he approached doing some of his death-defying stunts (and fearing ghosts were trying to kill him!); his transition from action star to actor, being on set with James Cameron; receiving a special Oscar at this year's Academy Awards; and much more.
