Rob Cohen has released a new photo still from The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. This new production photo features the first appearance of Jet Li as Emperor Han. Click on the image above to enlarge.
“Today, I shot Jet Li on his black stallion riding into battle in his jade armor,” Cohen wrote in the blog. “He looked nothing short of an Emperor. He has been totally professional and warm to me and the entire crew, like the prince he truly is.”
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor hits theaters on August 1st 2008.

Is Rob Cohen paying you to press The Mummy 3 so much? I’m not sure I’ve met a person who’s seen or was/is interested in any of the Mummy films yet it gets pressed on here like it’s a Star Wars film.

I didn’t mean to be hostile.. but I think that reaction came out of me simply because I thought I’d remembered you saying this was going to be a terrible film yet you were still pressing it.

I actually liked The Mummy and The Mummy Returns. I didn’t care for the The Scorpion King despite being a Dwayne “Rock” Johnson fan. I hate returning characters being played by completely different actors or in this case, actresses. I hope this turns out good. And for the record, The Mummy Returns ride at Universal in Florida is the best in the park.

When Jet said he was doing no more “martial arts” movies, it meant that he is no longer doing “epic-type” films like Once Upon a Time in China and Fearless.
Since action encompasses everything to gunplay to swordfighting, Jet simply decided not to perform in movies where like in his past films, his character is a martial arts master.
Now, his characters may have martial arts as a skill, however the story will not be based around this ability.

I can’t wait for this movie! It looks pretty amazing! I think they were smart to change up the plot line in this movie. The old plot was, at least to me, getting kind of repetative and slightly boring. So, I’m really looking forward to this change of scenery and the exciting new plot. Also, Jet Li is in this one! How can you go wrong with Jet Li? The man is insane! He’s really just 100% amazing!
