In a move that can best be described as different, Jackie Chan is set to star in the drama Tuxedo. The action, and more recently comedy, star is chopping at the bit to sink his teeth into some more dramatic material.

Don't worry though, Jackie's not alone. He's enlisted the help of director Steven Spielberg to insure that he's taken seriously in his new venture.

Tuxedo follows the story of a cab driver (Jackie Chan) who goes to the home of a rich who's recently slipped into a coma to collect some personal effects. Once in the mansion, the cab driver becomes transfixed on the rich man's Tuxedo.
