Jet Li & Jackie Chan working together in Forbidden Kingdom

The biggest martial arts team-up short of digging up Bruce and Brandon is coming September 2008 - legends Jackie Chan and Jet Li will finally team up on the big screen for "Forbidden Kingdom." Weinsten Co. and Lionsgate films will produce. First "Grindhouse," then this? Weinsteins, you guys are on a roll?

Rob Minkoff, who directed "The Lion King," is set to helm the flick starting May 2nd. Script is by John Fusco and?YUEN WOO-PING will be doing stunts. WTF! This is a martial arts wet dream. For those not in the know, Woo-ping did the action choreography for "The Matrix" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

The flick will be based on the legend of the monkey king, which is the basis for the "Dragonball" Japanese animation series. Jet Li will play two roles, the monkey king and the silent monk.

thats what i thought too, but i think he meant he wasn't going to do any more films specifically dealing with martial arts. i think he was going to do more movies like Hero than say Kiss of the Dragon (i think thats what it was called)

He said he wasn't doing anymore Wuxia movies, meaning the "historical martial arts fantasy" type movie. Stuff like Hero, Crouching Tiger, etc... Fearless was his last Wuxia movie.
 
They should just bring in Chris Tucker and Harrison Ford, and make it Rush Hour 3: Forbidden Kingdom of the Last Crusade of the Mermen.

Then they'd have a movie!
