Why a name change? Project X? Project A it’s not! Maybe call it Foreigner X since it seems more closely related to that kind of film.

They should ask Ding Sheng to direct it, then it'll be called 'Foreigner 2018'.

Cena, Chan, and director Scott Waugh. According to THR, Jackie Chan's Stunt Team will choreograph the fight scenes and Waugh, a former stuntman himself and legacy (his father is co-founder of Stunts Unlimited and was the original double for Nicholas Hammond's Spider-Man), will choreograph a high-level driving sequence. 

As for titles, with Cena playing an ex-Marine, I was thinking The Marine: Return of Triton (I'd say Marine 6, but that's already coming out this fall :P)

The Chinese title translates to Fury Sandstorm...maybe they can play off that title of some sort.

Nice article in The Hollywood Reporter on the first meeting between Jackie Chan and John Cena for Project X, how Cena has been learning Chinese for the past 3-4 years, and that Project X is "a working title" - https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/shanghai-jackie-chan-john-cena-talk-action-collaboration-project-x-1122143

I'm really looking forward to this one, especially now knowing Chan's stunt team will be behind the action. I mean, I suppose it was always going to be that way, though it hasn't always been the case for American productions has it?

Gutted that Sly pulled out  Still looking forward to this film

Filming has begun and trouble had ensued...a mudslide had hit the location.

Project X was filming in southwest China in early August 2018 when heavy summer rains triggered a mudslide that surprised cast and crew.  Jackie Chan said on social media, "Our crew were caught in a massive mudslide!  A few of our production trucks were stuck in the river of rushing mud."  "Chan took to Facebook, Twitter, his own blog and Chinese social media to confirm the event and reassure fans that all were safe."  Story here - https://variety.com/2018/film/news/jackie-chan-dodges-mudslide-project-x-1202899285/

What has John Cena been doing in between shooting Project X? WWE caught up with him.

It looks like from the still posted by @DragonClaws, the film is now called Project X-Traction. New cast members announced included Ghost in the Shell's Pilou Asbaek (from what it sounds like he could be the villain of the film) and Amadeus Serafini (as Cena's brother). British martial artist and actress Rachael Holoway plays a character named "Raider" and Tim Man's character is "Knox".

About time this guy got some more screen time, he puts so much effort into making other people look good onscreen.

I believe it is done. It is just a matter of when the film will be released. Hopefully it will be this year.
