"I just started a company in the mainland and I will be producing 10 films," Chan said on his official Web site.

The Hong Kong action star, who is currently filming "Rush Hour 3" said he plans to use his Christmas vacation to scout talent and ideas for the 10 projects.

"I need to meet the new directors. I need to read the screenplays and listen to ideas for more screenplays. I need to look at director reels to hire more directors for this big project," he said.

Chan also said he is scheduled to make a commercial with retired boxer George Foreman in the mainland, but didn't give details.

Chan has continued to make Chinese-language movies alongside his Hollywood career. He recently released the action comedy "Rob-B-Hood," about a group of kidnappers who have a change of heart after stealing a baby and don't turn him over to their employers.
