According to the reports Jet Li is ending his martial arts career after his latest movie is release, Fearless – the trailer for which is now online.
According to Yahoo News he is wanting to concentrate on more spiritually rewording projects.
The 42-year-old actor told students at Fudan University that he wants to make more philosophical, family oriented movies, the Youth Daily newspaper reported Monday.
Li said he started taking a greater interest in spiritual matters in his mid-30s, when he realized “it wasn’t enough to have a strong body, you had to have a strong soul.”
Yet the career isn’t over, he did say that he would keep making movies, and that he might work with Luc Besson again.
Li added, he has been in talks with more than 20 Hollywood productions and will “shoot whichever one comes to fruition first.”
So no more martial arts, but plenty of movies from Hollywood…I’m not so sure that is going to be a good move considering the quality of the non-martial arts movies he’s done…which are…
Anyway, the trailer for Fearless is available from WB Japan, although it is streaming and won’t show any pictures on my screen! Thanks to Twitch for the link.
