Forbidden Kingdom

This is the OTHER Dragonball movie coming out next year.

This is about a boy in modern times who finds Goku's magic staff. Activating it somehow sends him back in time where he meets Sun Wu Kung/the Monkey King (Japanese name being Goku) himself (played by Jet Li). It's Journey to the West with a bit of a twist. Jackie Chan plays Lu Yan who is Sun Wu Kung's rival.

The trailer is up:

Quote:
Jason (Michael Angarano), is a boy who is always bullied at school. He is determined to learn kung fu to protect himself. One day in a Chinatown pawnshop, Jason makes an extraordinary discovery - a Chinese staff. It is the legendary Ru Yi Bang staff of the Chinese sage and warrior, Sun Wukong the Monkey King.

A mysterious power in the staff transports Jason back to ancient China. There he meets kung fu master Lu Yan (Jackie Chan). He is unkempt and looks like a beggar; nevertheless Jason becomes his disciple. Later, he meets another kung fu master, Golden Sparrow (Liu Yifei) and the Silent Monk (Jet Li). The three of them go on to a journey after seeing the staff in Jason’s possession. There has been an ancient prophecy: Sun Wukong the Monkey King, who was jailed under the Five Fingers Mountain by Lord Buddha himself, will one day be freed by a "foreign youngster", who will return the staff to him. After learning of the arrival of Jason, the Jade Emperor (Collin Chou) immediately sends out his three highly skilled guards led by the White Haired Demoness (Li Bingbing) to get the staff from the boy. So the battle begins and the adventure goes on...

I watched the trailer for this and thought it looked pretty good, and plan on watching it when it comes out.

This was announced about fifty years ago. It looks kind of crappy, but it's going to be the greatest movie ever anyway.

I'm not sure if you all understand since the original post understates it, but this is a movie starring both Jackie Chan and Jet Li. And that is cool.
