Action stars, said eventually the opportunity to work with Li overrode little script
LOS ANGELES - In a rare moment of honesty in Hollywood, Jackie Chan admitted to be impressed with the script of his new film, "The Forbidden Kingdom," but the chance to work with fellow martial arts star Jet Li, for the first instead, lured him Draft.
The film - Chan is not sure if their 94th or 95th film - opens in major cities throughout the US On Friday. While his fans may think he Li and never worked together before, due to professional rivalry, Chan told Reuters that in reality are "close friends" who "could never find the project."
Then came "The Forbidden Kingdom," with Rob Minkoff ( "The Lion King") directing.
"When I got the script, I thought it was nonsense," said Chan. "But I was told that Jet was doing so I said 'yes'. The other reason was the director. I loved' The Lion King ', so I knew he would make a great fantasy for children, and it is."
The filmmakers spent a great problem with the two masters of martial arts.
"After that first, Rob and the cameraman came and told us, 'You guys are too fast. Can we delay?"' Chan said. "But at the same time I wanted to show."
Chan, 54, was one of the main stars of Hong Kong OFF THE TV AND LEAVE action before making it big in the United States in the "Rush Hour" movies, and Li, 44, followed the same trajectory that began in Asia and breaking into Hollywood with "Lethal Weapon 4".
Both now act and produce their own movies and in a new twist to "Forbidden Kingdom", the two have dual function.
