Fall Movie Guide-The One

The Players: Jet Li, Delroy Lindo, Carla Gugino, Jason Statham; directed and co-written by James Wong

The Skinny: OK, this is not an easy one to figure out, but here goes. Martial arts master Li plays a sheriff’s deputy who ends up fighting his malevolent alter ego from another dimension. Basically, it’s
Li against Li.

The Bottom Line: Apparently this idea was originally created for superstar wrestler The Rock, but he ended up doing The Mummy Returns instead. So when Li came on board things changed quite a bit, and the script’s dialogue was especially easy to write. “With The Rock, you didn’t have to write a lot of dialogue,” co-writer Glen Morgan told Entertainment Weekly. “With Jet, it’s even less.”
