The stakes are getting higher in Dante Lam's latest warfare flick - Against War - starring Jay Chou, Nicholas Tse and the lovely Bai Bing.

After spending more than a month filming in Jordan's scorching heat, Dante and his film crew are ready to move their film location to a more humid Kuala Lumpur.

"The Hong Kong crew recced the KL Railway Station twice," an official from Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTM) tells The Daily Chilli exclusively.

"They were here for two weeks. They said they're happy with what we have to offer."

Dante hired Hollywood war movie experts behind Oscar-winning war game, The Hurt Locker for the highly explosive film.

And if everything goes well, the acclaimed Hong Kong director, Nicholas and Jay will be in town to begin filming in the middle of May.

"They can't fix a date for KL because shooting in Jordan has yet to be wrapped up," says the official.

The KL Railway Station aside, the HK$200 million (RM77 million) actioner will also be shot in Brickfields, Chow Kit and Port Klang.

Set against the Gulf War, Against War cast Jay and Nicholas as a team of investigators assigned to rescue a Chinese officer (played by mainland Chinese actress Bai Bing). Their dangerous mission takes them travelling through Jordan, Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia.
