With the lost relic in hand, the teenager unexpectedly finds himself traveling back to ancient China to join a crew of warriors from martial arts lore on a dangerous quest to free the imprisoned Monkey King.<br /><br />Directed by Rob Minkoff (<i>Stuart Little, Lion King</i>), the film marks the first-ever onscreen pairing of martial arts superstars Jackie Chan (<i>Rush Hour, Drunken Master</i>) and Jet Li (<i>Fearless, Once Upon a Time in China</i>). The original screenplay by John Fusco (<i>Young Guns, Hidalgo</i>) is based on the traditional Chinese legend of the Monkey King. The film is produced by Casey Silver (<i>Ladder 49, Hidalgo</i>, the upcoming <i>Leatherheads</i>) of Casey Silver Productions. Renowned action choreographer Wo Ping (<i>The Matrix, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon</i>) is creating the fight sequences, and the director of photography is Peter Pau (<i>Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon</i>). --© Lions GateGooglerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06358366719765004302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881243958865635131.post-80836839351991515042008-04-22T04:47:00.000-07:002008-04-22T04:52:19.366-07:00<ul><li><a href="file:///wiki/Jackie_Chan" title="Jackie Chan">Jackie Chan</a> as <a href="file:///wiki/Lu_Dongbin" class="mw-redirect" title="Lu Dongbin">Lu Yan</a>, the Drunken Immortal</li><li><a href="file:///wiki/Jet_Li" title="Jet Li">Jet Li</a> as The Silent Monk/<a href="file:///wiki/Sun_Wukong" title="Sun Wukong">Sun Wukong</a>, the Monkey King</li><li><a href="file:///wiki/Collin_Chou" title="Collin Chou">Collin Chou</a> as The Jade Warlord</li><li><a href="file:///wiki/Michael_Angarano" title="Michael Angarano">Michael Angarano</a> as Jason <a href="file:///wiki/Xuanzang_%28fictional_character%29" title="Xuanzang (fictional character)">Tripitikas</a>, the Traveler</li><li><a href="file:///wiki/Liu_Yi_Fei" class="mw-redirect" title="Liu Yi Fei">Liu Yi Fei</a> as Golden Sparrow, the Orphaned Warrior</li><li><a href="file:///wiki/Li_Bingbing" title="Li Bingbing">Li Bingbing</a> as Ni-Chang, the White-Haired Assassin</li></ul>Googlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06358366719765004302noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881243958865635131.post-81391140749606716862008-04-22T04:01:00.000-07:002008-04-22T04:15:48.918-07:00<p style="text-align: left;"><i>The Forbidden Kingdom</i> (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_language" title="Chinese language">Chinese</a>: <span lang="zh">功夫之王</span>) is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_in_film" title="2008 in film">2008</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinema_of_the_United_States" title="Cinema of the United States">Hollywood</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial_arts_film" title="Martial arts film">martial arts</a>-<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventure_film" title="Adventure film">adventure film</a> directed by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Minkoff" title="Rob Minkoff">Rob Minkoff</a>.
