Jet Li Is The One

Jet Li has signed a deal worth $7.5 million to star in the supernatural thriller The One. The movie concerns a cop (Li) who must fight a parallel universe doppelganger in order to save the Earth. WWF star The Rock was originally supposed to play the lead. Instead, he opted to appear in Universal’s The Scorpion King (a Mummy spin-off). When The One goes before cameras in January, James Wong will be directing from a screenplay that he wrote with Glen Morgan. The writing team behind The X-Files and Final Destination.

Li is currently in Paris filming Luc Besson’s Kiss of the Dragon. He will probably appear in the two sequels to The Matrix and is still very interested in staring as Kato in The Green Hornet feature film now in development.
