I heard about it a while ago on Cinescape, that they both signed on to do a movie together, and even though there wasn’t a script yet. Does anyone know what happened with that, and can give us an update? Thanx.
yeah. its true. its on both their websites.
Is there anything else about it? Like a name for the movie, date for when they start shooting, screenplay, something?
I heard that rumor like a year before but I thought that someone’s manager/agent/whatever came out and denied them as just rumours. IF this will ever happen it will be the greatest movie in history. Period 
Well, friends, the script is done. It was just on the news, and a good friend of mine was kind enought to call and let me listen to the story over the phone. Whats it gonna be called? I missed the name…
NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Maybe your friend caught it???:eek:
Jet & Jackie in Forbidden Kingdom
While this isn’t really new to most of us here, I found a recent article and figured I’d share it. Still a rather nebulous project at this point, but we can all hope. Near the end of the article, Jackie also responds about his drunken hijinks at the Jonathan Lee concert in Hong Kong last month.

Jackie Chan: Movie Deal With Jet Li Near
Aug 1, 1:12 PM (ET)
By MIN LEE
HONG KONG (AP) - A movie costarring two of the biggest names in kung fu cinema - Jackie Chan and Jet Li - is nearly a sealed deal, with the only outstanding issue being the script, Chan said Tuesday.
“All the hurdles have been overcome. The only problem left is the script,” Chan told The Associated Press after a press conference to promote his new action comedy, “Rob-B-Hood.”
“We need a script that he approves and I approve. If that goes well, shooting will start in March or April in Shanghai,” he said.
Asked about the plot, Chan suggested it will be action-oriented fare, saying he and Li must defer to the movie’s Hollywood backers.
“It will be more American-style. It will be more suited to foreign audiences than Chinese audiences,” he said. “If you make a Hollywood movie, of course you have to follow their wishes. They’re paying us so much money.”
He also revealed he will soon start shooting the third installment of the popular action comedy series “Rush Hour” with Chris Tucker, spending about a dozen days in France starting in September, followed by 10 days of shooting in New York and further filming in Los Angeles. He said the movie will wrap by March or April next year.
To cap off a busy filming schedule, Chan said he is also due to shoot a film in Japan that translates as “Shinjuku Incident” with Hong Kong director Derek Yee. He declined to reveal the plot, only saying it is based on a true story.
Asked about a recent Hong Kong pop concert that Chan disrupted with a surprise, somewhat drunken appearance on stage, he said he’s resigned to the fact that his actions generate news.
“I’m used to it. I’ll definitely be written about. I don’t blame the writers,” he said.
Chan appeared unannounced on stage at Taiwanese singer-songwriter Jonathan Lee’s concert in Hong Kong last month. He then insulted the band and replied to heckles from the audience with a coarse insult.
But Chan, who has apologized for the incident, expressed frustration at the level of attention it drew.
“Everyone in the world has made mistakes, but it’s just that we’re celebrities. TV station managers, magazine editors, who doesn’t drink, who doesn’t get drunk?” Chan said.
good article
I still doubt they will ever make a movie togethter. Meltdown starring Jet Li and Jackie Chan err, Jackei Cheung I mean was just a little too forward making fun of Jackie.
And what is up with Jet? He says he is done with martial arts movies. Next thing we hear about is “the one” part 2 or some crap like that and then the tsui hark film, and now this?
Yep, Im confused .Thought Fearless was going to be Jet’s last “action” film??? Hmmm, not sure what to make of it!
I am however, very much looking forward to watching Snake and Crane Arts of Shaolin tomorrow!
check out the list of movies I just gor not too long ago
Sonny CHiba 5 pack-samurai reicarnation, killing mchine, shogun’s ninja, the bodyguard, dragon princess.
Sonny Chiba 3-pack-The executioner, Golgo 13, Bulllet Train(I think).
Jet Li 3-pack- Shaolin Temple 1 and 2 and that crap movie Born to Defense(that is really what it’s called).
Buddhis Fist(pretty good old school kung fu)
More chiba-G.I. Samurai, Karate for life
18 fatal strikes
Fist of legends 2:mad:
Legacy of Rage(decent)
Pride Fighting championships 1-5 box set
UFC 52 and another one
can’t remember them all but I got each of those items on a 3 for $10 deal:eek: even the Pride , and the 5 and 3 packs! I may never have to buy movies again:D
Jackie Chan & Jet Li team up
Jackie Chan and Jet Li are close to signing onto a film, together!
“All the hurdles have been overcome. The only problem left is the script.
We need a script that he approves and I approve. If that goes well, shooting will start in March or April
in Shanghai” Chan told The Associated Press after a press conference to promote his new action comedy,
“Rob-B-Hood.”
He went onto confirm that it will obviously be action oriented. “It will be more American-style. It will be
more suited to foreign audiences than Chinese audiences.”
from an industry memo
I’d be interested to see those two in a movie together.
ya think:D
He said “Fearless” is going to be his last Kung Fu movie, not action movie. What does he mean by not doing any more Kung Fu movies but still doing action movies? After “Fearless”, we probably won’t see anymore great fight scenes from him.
Jackie’s right about the media needing to lay off of him. We’ve all gotten drunk and acted like an idiot at some time or another. And it’s not like he got a DUI and then went on an anti-semitic rant or something crazy like that. And besides, he is the Drunken Mastah!
I sure hope Jet keeps making kung fu flicks. If not for Fist of Legend I never would have known how to deal with an evil samurai using just my belt. That’s knowledge that’ll help you in real life.

No one has heard, here is the article posted by KF cinema.
"China-based newspaper Star Daily reports that Peter Jackson is being sought as director for an upcoming Jackie Chan-Jet Li movie project. According to Monkeypeaches, the news source cites an anonymous insider for the tip. Jet Li has also reportedly been offered $9 million for his participation. But wait, there’s more.
In an earlier posting, Monkeypeaches also cited The Beijing News for carrying an article on a likely story for the Chan-Li project. It appears to be inspired by China’s classic fable Journey to the West. In a twist on the original story, screenwriter John Fusco (Hildago) has a teenage boy in present-day New York with a passion for kung fu movies whisked away to ancient China after picking up a magic cudgel from a pawnshop owner. The cudgel belongs to the Monkey King and in an effort to find a way home the boy searches for the imprisoned anti-hero to free him from his long confinement at the hands of the God of the Heavens. In doing so, the boy learns about the true meaning of kung fu and the redeemed Monkey King is free to go on his epic journey after helping his rescuer to get back to his own time.
The current rumor is that Li will play the Monkey King himself while Chan will play “Lan Caihe,” one of the Eight Immortals who aids the boy in his quest.
The film is reportedly being jointly produced on both sides of the Pacific by Casey Silver Productions, Relativity Media and Shanghai Film Studios. Bill Badalato (Around the World in 80 Days) is attached as one of the producers.
A time-traveling Journey to the West screen adaptation isn’t a new idea. In 1995, Stephen Chow (Kung Fu Hustle) played a reincarnation of the Monkey King who, having stepped out of time in present day Hong Kong, reluctantly goes back to fulfill his destiny in the entertaining two-part, comedy adventure series A Chinese Odyssey. Six years later Russell Wong (Romeo Must Die) starred as the Monkey King along with Bai Ling in The Lost Empire, a poorly-received network TV movie that followed an American journalist’s trip through time where he frees the Monkey King and fights by his side.
Jackie Chan is presently promoting his latest completed film, Rob-B-Hood, an action comedy scheduled for release in Asia in September. The action star is also getting ready to step into a third Rush Hour movie with returning co-star Chris Tucker.
Jet Li is just as busy with the U.S. release of his Huo Yuanjia kung fu biopic Fearless coming to theaters Sept. 22nd and his next feature, Rogue, already in post-production and slated for release in 2007."
This is definitely not sure fire but does look like it could be good.
this is how it went!
jet li: i don’t want to do martial arts films no more i want to do regular acting!
producers: B!tch you can’t act you better stick to kicking and punching thas what you do.
jet li: but i’m tired of it and my knees hurt!
producer(pulls out contract): well this here says we got five more film out your ass, and trust me there not going to be no romance comedy with, jennifer aniston. hey don’t you wushu guys have a saying “eat bitter”
jet li : yeah and?
producer(whips out lemon): chow down cause ur not going anywhere.
Peter Jackson to direct Chan-Li Kung Fu classic
Peter Jackson to direct Chan-Li Kung Fu classic
Melbourne, Aug 16: King Kong director Peter Jackson may soon be at the helm of a new film that would team up martial-arts greats Jackie Chan and Jet Li.
Jackson may either direct the untitled film or produce it. According to Moviehole Li will portray the villain, and Chan as the hero.
Chan recently said the movie, which starts filming next March or April, "will be more American-style.
“It will be more suited to foreign audiences than Chinese audiences. If you make a Hollywood movie, of course you have to follow their wishes. They’re paying us so much money,” he added.
Bureau Report with inputs from ANI
“Whether he does it or not, Chan and Li are making a fortune to participate. Jet is reportedly being paid a hefty $9 million to play the film’s villain, and Jackie Chan has said on the record that, “they’re paying us so much money.” There’s a reason for that. The untitled film is supposed to be a more Americanized action movie, and Jackie only does those when he wants a big paycheck. “ Cinema Blend-Josh Tyler”
more rumors
There was that old rumor about Jackie and Jet teaming under Zhang Yimou last year.
Zhang Yimou Might Unite Jackie Chan and Jet Li in his Fourth Martial Art Film
August 17, 2005
During an interview with Chinese newspaper Nanfang Daily, director Zhang Yimou’s partner producer Zhang Weiping said they were still working on the script for the long-awaited project with Jackie Chan and they might even ask Jet Li to join the cast as well. Zhang Weiping said this film would show a completely new Jackie Chan and would not be another Jackie Chan comedy. Jackie Chan is very excited by the project but Jet Li has said he would not do any more martial art films unless he finds a really good script. Both of them said they had been looking for an opportunity to work in the same film. Zhang Yimou will do his third martial art film with Chow Yun-Fat and Gong Li first and the shooting will begin in February next year.
Maybe mid August is the time Jackie and Jet release these rumors…
