Action film star Jackie Chan has set up a company in mainland to produce 10 films, according to a posting on his website.

"I just started a company in China and I will be producing 10 films," Chan said.

The Hong Kong actor, who is currently filming Rush Hour 3, said he plans to use his Christmas holiday 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. This is how I will spend my Christmas holiday," he said. Chan also said he is scheduled to make a commercial with retired boxer George Foreman in China, but gave no 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 do not turn him over to their employers.
