Member AlbertV Posted May 8, 2008 Member Share Posted May 8, 2008 This was just announced on AliveNotDead.com: The overwhelming box-office success of the action-adventure flick "The Forbidden Kingdom" has prompted its producers to shoot a sequel. Sources from the film's Chinese investor and distributor, Huayi Brothers, said Tuesday they will once again collaborate with Hollywood for part two of the Jackie Chan-Jet Li film. The two action heroes will appear in the follow-up film, together with actress Li Bingbing, who made her major Hollywood debut with "Forbidden Kingdom." The sequel is likely to feature a romance between Jet Li and Li Bingbing's characters. Huayi Brothers president Wang Zhongjun said a sequel would be made if global revenue of "The Forbidden Kingdom" hit US$50 million. The film raked in almost half that amount in its opening weekend in North America two weeks ago, topping the local box office with US$20.9 million. According to the Beijing Times, the US$70-million film has already broken even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted May 8, 2008 Member Share Posted May 8, 2008 hmmmm, I think they got kind of lucky that they made an above average movie the first time. I don't know if they should push their luck. But, I will definitely go see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Endsang Posted May 8, 2008 Member Share Posted May 8, 2008 The part about Jet wanting to fight superheroes was a bit terrifying. But then again, this man proved his worth ages ago. He can do whatever he wants and it's fine by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Mark Pollard Posted May 8, 2008 Member Share Posted May 8, 2008 I'd like to see Li Bing-bing star in a more mature spin-off film that basically acts as a remake or continuation of the BRIDE WITH WHITE HAIR saga. She could easily carry a film on her own without Li or Chan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Iron_Leopard Posted April 30, 2021 Member Share Posted April 30, 2021 I wonder why this never happened? I'm a fan of the first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
