THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM
SYNOPSIS
A 21st
Century American teenager takes a spellbinding,
dangerous journey into martial arts legend in the new
action/adventure epic FORBIDDEN KINGDOM.
Shot on
location in China, THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM marks the
historic first-ever onscreen pairing of martial arts
superstars Jackie Chan (RUSH HOUR, DRUNKEN MASTER) and
Jet Li (FEARLESS, ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA), and
features the awe-inspiring action choreography of Wo
Ping (THE MATRIX, CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON).
While
hunting down bootleg kung-fu DVDs in a Chinatown
pawnshop, Jason (played by Michael Angarano - "24",
"Will and Grace," LORDS OF DOGTOWN, SEABISCUIT) makes an
extraordinary discovery that sends him hurtling back in
time to ancient China. There, Jason is charged with a
monumental task: he must free the fabled warrior the
Monkey King, who has been imprisoned by the evil Jade
Warlord. Jason is joined in his quest by wise kung fu
master Lu Yan (Jackie Chan) and a band of misfit
warriors including Silent Monk (Jet Li). But only by
learning the true precepts of kung fu can Jason hope to
succeed - and find a way to get back home.
Directed by Rob Minkoff (STUART LITTLE, THE LION KING),
the film marks the first-ever onscreen pairing of
martial arts superstars Jackie Chan (RUSH HOUR, DRUNKEN
MASTER) and Jet Li (FEARLESS, ONCE UPON A TIME IN
CHINA). The original screenplay by John Fusco (YOUNG
GUNS, HIDALGO) is based on the traditional Chinese
legend of the Monkey King. The film is produced by
Casey Silver (LADDER 49, HIDALGO, the upcoming
LEATHERHEADS) of Casey Silver Productions. Renowned
action choreographer Wo Ping (THE MATRIX, CROUCHING
TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON) is creating the fight sequences,
and the director of photography is Peter Pau (CROUCHING
TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON).
