More details have emerged about the forthcoming Jackie Chan/Jet Li movie that we first reported on back in May.

Although the film still lacks a title, John Fusco has finally written the script, Robert Minkoff has climbed aboard as director and the high priest of martial arts moves Yuen Wo Ping will create the action sequences.

As for casting, Li is set to both the silent monk and the monkey king while Chan will play the monk T'sa-Ho.
