Sounds good. Guess FEARLESS wasn't Jet Li's last martial arts film.

That's what I thought too.  Oh well.  Sorta like Godzilla: Final Wars being the "last Godzilla Movie."

This sounds like a family/fantasy film, but an interesting one. Didn't Jet Li explain somewhere that he was retiring from wuxia-style martial arts films that required a different level of training and conditioning than he felt he could completely commit to now that he was getting older? I read several articles about the "retirement" and in most he qualified what he meant. Then again some early ones claimed he was leaving film altogether and devoting his life to charitable work almost like some HK version of Audrey Hepburn. Strange.

It sounded to me like he was shifting his focus as an actor and performer rather than a full retirement from a type of film, kind of like when Jackie admited that he had begun to use stunt doubles in recent years.
