Jet Li In 'The Mummy 3' Talks

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

Jet Li is in negotiations to play the villainous title character in Universal Pictures' The Mummy 3, being directed by Rob Cohen, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The plot details of the script, written by Smallville's Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, are being kept under wraps, but it is known that the action is set in China, with Li's story beginning in ancient times before moving to a post-World War II setting. It is also known that one sequence involves the famous terra-cotta warriors, the collection of more than 8,000 men and their horses that were originally constructed to protect the tomb of an emperor near Xi'an.

i agree with i like boobs. but maybe it'll be a tight movie. jet li is a good fighter (i dont know about his acting,its ok).8,000 warriors thas sounds badass. the first two films were good, so everything counts on the third. lets just hope they dont **** it up.

actually the 1st emperor of China would have been mummified to a degree...... he lived on preserving his body by eating mercury and tryin to live forever through herbs, potions etc, he learned his preservations ideas from the Egyptians, also the terracota warriors coming to life link would tie in well to those creatures that come after Rik.. you kno the mummy warriors.
