Nosebleed (200?)

How it is offensive? It makes no sense.

Actually this idea has appeared in his bio, like ~2 years before 9/11 happened. Noone said it was written moments before 9/11.

It just seems like too much of a coincidence to be true. Does anyone have any other information on when exactly it was set to go into production, or what exactly the story was or how close to 9/11 it was?

How's this for coincidence?

I remember that! It really was before 9/11 that this production was planned!
After 9/11 they stopped working on this because of obvious reasons!

the film is mentioned in a special feature on my Police Story dvd which I think was manufactured in 2001, probably pre September.

The mans tongue didnt come through customs!

It's crazy, but it's true. I remember reading news articles about the production of Nosebleed in the months leading up to 9/11. They don't seem to be online anymore though.

Jackie was scheduled to shoot scenes on the roof of the Trade Center buildings the same week those planes were hijacked. But there was some sort of production delay, so Chan put the project on hold and began work on The Tuxedo instead.

If it still sounds like too much of a coincidence, ask Seth MacFarlane. He was booked as a passenger on one of the WTC planes, but overslept and missed the flight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TinWxXhzXVQ

Action star Jackie Chan reveals he was due at the World Trade Center last Tuesday to shoot scenes for an upcoming film, but that filming was canceled at the last minute because of a late script. "I would probably have died if the shooting had gone ahead as planned," Chan tells the Hong Kong newspaper Oriental Daily News about filming the action-comedy Nosebleed, in which he was to star as a window washer who foils a terrorist scheme to blow up the Statue of Liberty. "Filming was scheduled to have taken place at 7:00 a.m. last Tuesday morning. … I had to be at the top of one of the towers for one of the scenes," Chan tells the paper, adding "Well, I guess my time is not up yet.

Nosebleed, along with several other films with terrorist plots or scenes involving the World Trade Center, is being reworked to avoid any resemblance to last week's tragedy. A spokeswoman for MGM said last week that it was "premature" to discuss how the script might be changed.

The plotline was Jackie's character is window washer who witnesses a murder in one of the twin towers offices.
