Credit: Dramasian.com Jet Li and Jackie Chan will be filming a movie together for the first time next year. Both Jet and Jackie have wanted to film together in the past, but the opportunity did not come along. No wonder both are feeling so excited about their new filming project! The project is dubbed "J & J Project" (Both Jackie and Jet's first names start with J) because there is currently no script nor movie title yet. However more details for the movie will be revealed at this year's Cannes film festival. The collaboration of "twin dragons" Jackie and Jet will probably send Hollywood in a tailspin and many international distributors scrambling for rights. Three months ago, there was a movie producer who contacted Jackie and Jet to collaborate together. Since Jackie and Jet have always wanted to work together, they said yes over the phone and discussed more details of the movie. Both Jet and Jackie have hectic filming schedules for the rest of this year. In order to clear up his schedule to film the movie with Jackie, Jet had to reject another project, which may have cost him $15 million (estimated money Jet gets per movie). The reporters at the Sun contacted Jackie to confirm his collaboration with Jet. Jackie said, "We are in the early discussion stage." (Will it be an action movie?) "We have not decided yet." The article did not mention whether this will be an HK or Hollywood production, though. -unsure Crossing my fingers and hoping it'll be HK!
So is Jet Li still sticking to his no more action roles? Or is that history already? Because it's hard for me to imagine a movie that's not full of action scenes...
Hm.. interesting, i'll want to see this if it comes out... I wonder how the movie will turn out like if there was no action in it...
He never said anything about quitting action movies. All he said was that he was no longer going to film wuxia-type movies (Fearless being his last). So as far as I know, he will still continue filming action films, just with different fighting techniques. He will also be releasing a new Hollywood movie starring along side Jason Statham (dude from transporter). Not sure as to when that will be released, although I'm not really looking forward to it.
this sounds really cool - definitely can't wait until i get to see it. but i thought jackie and jet had worked before like sometime when they first started in the movie business. oh well.....doesn't matter. glad to see them before n all the actions that is gonna be involved.
