Lords of Dogtown and Sky High actor Michael Angarano has joined the currently untitled Jet Li & Jackie Chan movie which Rob Minkoff is helming.
The Hollywood Reporter through Moviehole tell us that the actor will…
play a troubled 17-year-old wannabe kung fu warrior who, after a humiliating defeat at the hands of a street gang, is sent back in time to ancient China on an impossible mission to set free the imprisoned Monkey King (Li) and return to him his all-powerful staff.
Seeing Jet Li and Jackie Chan in a movie together has been something I know a lot of people have been anticipating for quite some time. Personally, I think it has so much potential, but why in the hell did they choose Minkoff?
From The Haunted Mansion and Stuart Little 2 to helming a martial arts movie?
Let’s just be thankful that legend Yuen Woo-ping is handling the action choreography and Minkoff won’t totally ruin what could be a great film.
Filming begins in China this May.
