Schaut eigentlich noch ganz brauchbar aus...
Zur Story:
A discovery made by a kung fu obsessed American teen sends him on an adventure to China, where he joins up with a band of martial arts warriors in order to free the imprisoned Monkey King.
Ist ja eigentlich ein US-Film bzw. wird in Englisch gedreht von einem Amerikaner. Das macht mich skeptisch, zum anderen auch, weil Jet Li und Jackie Chan ihre besten Jahre hinter sich haben.
Trotzdem bin ich sehr gespannt, wie der Film wird!
Aber Jackie Chan hat sich nicht gut über den Film geäussert:
JACKIE CHAN SAYS NEW MOVIE WITH JET LI 'NOT GREAT'
Jackie Chan says the new Hollywood action movie he shot with Jet Li ``isn't great,'' a news report said Tuesday, while Li said in his blog that fans should not have overly high expectations for the film.
``The Forbidden Kingdom,'' which finished shooting in China last month, has been eagerly anticipated because it marks the first on-screen collaboration between Chan and Li - kung fu cinema's two biggest stars.
But the two actors have been playing down the film's potential appeal to Chinese viewers, saying it is targeted at a U.S. audience.
A news report carried on the Web site of China's state-run Xinhua News Agency quoted Chan as saying, ``The movie I just shot with Jet Li, 'The Forbidden Kingdom,' actually isn't that great.''
Chan was speaking at a news conference in the northeastern Chinese city of Changchun on Sunday, Xinhua said.
``'The Forbidden Kingdom' is a movie made for Americans,'' the report quoted Chan as saying. ``Chinese viewers may not like it. If I say it's a good movie now, then many people will be filled with overly high expectations and be disappointed when they see the movie.''
