IMDB / Wiki

Directed by the Disney-trained Rob Minkoff, fight coordinated by Yuen Woo-Ping.

Here's hoping it doesn't suck, seeing as how both guys are past their prime and this is a hollywood production.

Here's the AMG write-up:

Legendary martial arts stars Jackie Chan and Jet Li come together onscreen for the first time ever in director Rob Minkoff's time-traveling take on the Monkey King fable that finds an American teen transported back to ancient China after wandering into a pawn shop and discovering the king's fighting stick. Once there, the adventurous teen joins an army of fierce warriors who have sworn to free their imprisoned king at all costs. In addition to appearing as the mythical Monkey King, Li will also assume the role of a silent monk, as Chan appears in the role of the monk T'sa-Ho. Famed action choreographer Yuen Woo Ping presides over the fight sequences.

Saw a trailer, looked like horrid mash-up of wacky Jackie antics and po-faced Crouching Tiger style wire-work nonsense. I have plenty of time for the first, little for the second.

this movie was alright. martial arts top notch of course, but the story, even by wuxia standards, was really silly.
