Turns out Jet Li is returning to Chinese Film after doing several movies in the United States. Li is due to start shooting the movie — tentatively called “Ocean Paradise” in Chinese. This film id due to be released next year and will directed Zhang. It is said that Li will not fight in the movie, but the film makers are being tight lipped on the project as a whole. Li’s last three films were all American productions. His two most recent releases are “The Forbidden Kingdom” which marked his first on screen collaboration with Jackie Chan and “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.” The 46-year-old action star just finished shooting the action thriller “The Expendables.” As a former martial arts champion in China, Li made a name for himself in the Hong Kong film industry with “Once Upon a Time in China” series before moving on to Hollywood, where his credits also include “Lethal Weapon 4,” “Romeo Must Die” and “Kiss of the Dragon.” It will be interesting to see how different this new Chinese produced movie will be since it is said that he will not be fighting.
