Hong Kong Action Star Castings

Ain’t it Cool News reports that Jet Li will replace WWF wrestling star The Rock in the lead role of Glenn Morgan and James Wong’s sci-fi film The One. After finishing Kiss of the Dragon, Li will play a man that discovers that there are alternate universes, and that by killing other universes’ versions of himself, he becomes stronger thus leading to good Jet Li versus evil Jet Li fights coreographed by Corey Yuen (X-Men, Romeo Must Die, My Father is a Hero fight coreographer) in a film written by the writers best known for Final Destination and The X-Files.

Ain’t it Cool News has also posted a rumor that Chow Yun Fat has been approached to star as Louis Wu in the big screen adaptation of Larry Niven’s fantasy novel series Ringworld. Yun Fat has read the book and is reportedly interested in the role. A first draft script has been finished, and production may begin with a $75 to $80 million budget as early as March.
