The Tuxedo

Cabbie-turned-chauffeur Jimmy Tong (Jackie Chan) learns there is really only one rule when you work for playboy millionaire Clark Devlin (Jason Isaacs): Never touch Devlin's prized tuxedo.  But when Devlin is temporarily put out of commission in an explosive "accident," Jimmy can't resist trying on the tux and soon discovers that this extraordinary suit may be more black belt than black tie.  Suddenly thrust into a dangerous world of espionage, paired with a rookie partner (Jennifer Love Hewitt) even less experienced than he, Jimmy becomes an unwittingÑif impeccably dressedÑsecret agent.

"The Tuxedo" stars Jackie Chan, the Hong Kong action superstar who has more recently conquered the worldwide box office in such films as "Rush Hour" and "Rush Hour 2."  Starring opposite Chan is Jennifer Love Hewitt ("Heartbreakers").  The film also stars Jason Isaacs ("The Patriot", upcoming "Black Hawk Down"), Ritchie Coster ("The Thomas Crown Affair"), Debi Mazar ("The Insider") and Peter Stormare ("Chocolat").

The action comedy marks the feature film directorial debut of Kevin Donovan, who made his name as an award-winning commercial director.  John H. Williams ("Shrek") and Adam Schroeder ("The Truman Show") are producing "The Tuxedo," with Walter F. Parkes ("Gladiator"), Laurie MacDonald ("Gladiator") and William S. Beasley ("The Mexican") serving as executive producers.  The screenplay was written by Philip Hay & Matt Manfredi ("crazy/beautiful") and Michael Wilson and Michael Leeson.
