Lover Not A Fighter

Following roles in Hollywood pics The Mummy 3 and The Forbidden Kingdom-and the upcoming actioner The Expendables--Jet Li is headed back to Chinese cinema says The Hollywood Reporter.



According to Zhang Hongyan, publicist for the Hong Kong-based Edko Film, the project has tentatively been titled "Ocean Paradise".

"It's a movie that's very different from his previous movies," Zhang told a Chinese newspaper, and added that Li would not fight in the film.

Li came into his own in the Hong Kong film industry before kicking major butt in Hollywood, where he landed starring roles in Lethal Weapon 4 and Romeo Must Die.

Li is the best at all of the martial arts stuff...And while I understand his need to take a break from the action genre--I hope he comes back to it sooner rather than later.
