Well, that’s it for Jet Li, at least for now. I guess after a string of not so big movies, including the one where he FINALLY squared off against Jackie Chan, he was figuring it was time to move on to greener pastures. And indeed he’s found them in the form of his home, China.
He’ll be heading back to star in a movie called Ocean Paradise, a movie that’s “very different from his previous movies”, so chances are, he won’t be doing a whole lot of kicking of much of anything in this one. With a name like “Ocean Paradise”, for all I know, he might be a surfing instructor.
Okay, that’d be pretty cool, actually–think about it. The Chinese version of Baywatch, with Jet Li as David Hasselhoff. You get me the Chinese version of Pamela Lee and I’ll be all over it like three bums on a bottle of bourbon.
Sadly, this is almost certainly not the case, but when we find out more about this one, I’ll pass it right on to you.

I wrote the English version of this script. The original Chinese script was great. Jet Li’s character is a single father of an autistic boy. I’m surprised by the casting decision, but anxious to see his performance. The title is a direct translation from the Chinese. Maybe they should change it.
