Forbidden Kingdom
Jet Li talks about his new film, The Forbidden Kingdom, which is currently being filmed. This isn't the film that will debut next month, War, which looks to be a standard revenge flick which has him starring with Jason Statham. Jet Li is an enthusiastic convert to Buddhism who at one time was considering giving up films. What's happened instead is that he's used his clout to land better film roles than the trashy martial arts pictures he started out in. Actually I like trashy martial arts films, as long as the martial arts are good, and I'll probably go see War. The Forbidden Kingdom has him starring with Jackie Chan and looks to be a fantasy loosely based on Jorney to the West.
