Jackie Chan and Jet Li will star together for the first time in a $70 million untitled family pic, according to Variety.

Chan-Li starrer, known as the untitled J&J project, has been rumored for some time. John Fusco script is based on the legend of the monkey king and his quest to achieve immortality.

Li is set to play two roles, that of the monkey king and the silent monk. Chan will play the monk T'sa-Ho. The two martial-arts masters have long said they would like to appear together in a film and fight each other.
