Sweet merciful crap. I'm reading word that Yuen Wo-Ping is getting behing the camera again and wishes to direct a film titled Chang Cheng [The Great Wall] about what else? The Great Wall of China. Even though the script, a story about repelling attacks from the Huns, or Xiongnu/匈奴, from the North, is not even finished yet Yuen has been meeting with the backers of the film to present his vision.
Local Chinese papers have noted that Yuen has asked Jet Li to be the leading man in this picture. Apparently it doesn't matter that Li announced he would no do any more Wushu films because this would not be a Wushu film. Yuen has said that it would be an action film, the action would take up about two thirds of the film and that he is sure Li will accept his offer. The two have a long standing history and friendship with each other, having produced some of Chinese film's most exciting and memorable moments. "He has such great skills in kungfu, wouldn't it be a waste not to use them?" Yuen will offer the script to Li once it is finished.

Well, if it's some kind of war-epic, then I suppose that "technically" it won't be a wushu film. Meh... whatever. I'm tired of people trying to define what the heck Jet Li means by not doing another wushu film. Fans should just be happy that he's still making movies.
Jet Li again!! Why not giving Donnie Yen a try, Mr Yuen Wo-ping!!..Better not female lead Zhang Ziyi coz i would probably fall sick of Zhang Ziyi overdosed..*sighs*
Donnie Yen said action in The Promise and New Police Story not up to par in his eyes. He also made a female costar cried at a live TV interview when he criticised her publicly for being too slow and a burden to the new movie.
@ thehulk: Whom did Donnie criticise? That sounds a bit harsh (and like something Donnie could do, lol)
the chick who plays Nicky's girlfriend.
I do hope, Mr Yuen should give Donnie Yen a try in this movie, he is vey talent and great in Kung Fu . Everyone here would like to see him on the screen than someone else..

Lets not forget that it was Yuen who gave Donnie his first break in drunken tai chi. Woo Ping is an expert and if he thinks Jet would be better i don't think we are gonna have anything to coplain about
I enjoy Jet Li's acting since the beginning. I have all his Movie bought not copied. I start watching him because of his Martial Habilities (I am a Kempo student). But since Kiss of the Dragon, I began watching Jet's Movies with another point of view. Yes he is one of the 5 best martial artist I have seen in my carreer. Have you ever seen even a Shaolin Monk able to master 18 Weapons form like Mr Jet Li. I haven't yet. But also he is funny, his acting is great. I believe that when a Wushu Practionner like him had sufered so much pain in training under Mstr Wu Bin, that it makes a better man than the average. And I want highlight the fact that he is a Tibetan Buddhist, wich gives him a lot of credit.
Long life to this very good and very honest actor.
Wish all your familly is healty.
