Starring Chinese action film legend Jackie Chan as adventurer Passepartout, acclaimed British comedian Steve Coogan as eccentric inventor Phileas Fogg and Academy Award ^© winning actor Jim Broadbent as Lord Kelvin, the plot has been ingeniously adapted to provide a vehicle for Chan's martial arts skills. "Parents will enjoy this film as much as their kids; it doesn't have a single swear word and there's no graphic violence. It's entertainment with good looking images," declares British-born Director of Photography Phil Méheux BSC, who admits he's a big fan of illusional, old fashioned Hollywood style films.
