Simon West is the director.

I found some more here. Pictures and text in Chinese:

It's about a volcano eruption on something called Fire Island (?). Different kind of people are toghether and try to survive. That's all I dare to report from the google translate...

I searched around some more, and forund these pictures, that may be Jason with his back to the camera. He had purple suit on the pictures he posted. I found them on Forest City Country Garden Pacific View's Facebook site. It's in Malaysia. So that's another mystery solved.

Hmmm. I shall reserve judgement.

It's hard to tell... But it's the same clothes as the one he's wearing in this picture that he posted himself on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn0TbOUhMNY ... asonisaacs Ant the hotel on facebook also had pictures of the luxury cars parked outside.

But it may be a stand-in...

It says coming in 2019. We'll see...

Jason mentioned he didn't think we would get to see this, but then he laughed and said we seem to have a way of seeing most of his projects. I think this was the movie where he told us he was very excited because it was to be filmed in a really beautiful location but they had a schedule change and they said good news they got a soundstage - they no longer had to go on location. LOL

It's a good sign that the poster is in English. it must mean that they are planning a some kind of international release....? We'll have to wait and see, but things usually gets available in the end.

They are trying to seel it at Cannes.

That's probably why Jason is there?

[Marie]

He did say the movie had some big name Chinese actors. None of us will know who they are though.

I like the movie poster - very disaster movie orange!

[Helen8]

. . . with Jason smack dab in the middle of it, Marie!

Um. His character is not much of a volcanologist: Won't blow for 150 years. Oops.

[Hilary the Touched]

... so not the scientist Quincy was, eh??

[Helen8]

Yup. No smartest guy on the planet, this one. He'll probably come to a very bad end as a result.

I guess death by volcano should be added to the list of character deaths...
