Chinese Kung Fu star and celebrity, Jackie Chan revealed on August 1st that BBC used his voice for the voice-over narratives of six hours BBC's nature documentary entitled "Earth: One Amazing Day."
The new documentary is reportedly a sequel of the 2007 BBC nature documentary titled "Earth." It is directed by Peter Webber, Chinese director Fan Lixin and Richard Dale. Chinese writer Yan Geling reportedly contributed to the Chinese narrative script of the documentary film and was music produced by Roc Chen, the musical consultant of "Kung Fu Panda 3." Director and actor Robert Redford narrated the English version of the documentary.
Jackie Chan, along with the BBC producers Neil Nightingale and Stephen McDonogh, attended the China premiere of the documentary.
"I love animals, and I get inspired by them when I'm acting," Chan said, "I was so attracted by the documentary and even forgot to go to bathroom when I recorded the narratives for six consecutive hours! I can't wait to watch scene after scene."
The 63-year-old actor encouraged parents to let their children watch the film so that they will appreciate how beautiful the planet is.
"Give this film a chance, and you can re-discover nature," he said.
The documentary is reportedly filmed in 22 countries. It captures the different creatures on Earth and takes the viewers on an amazing adventure of wild life. The unique habitats and the 38 wild animals' characters which include the narwhal, hummingbird, giant panda and marine iguana are featured on the documentary film. The docu also showcases technologies which were used to record the never before seen angles of the nature and different animals. For example, the crew reportedly deployed drones over 200 times just to capture the endangered white-headed langur in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
