Film Combat Syndicate (via Flesh Eating Zipper) reports that Snail Games USA has hinted that their acclaimed PC video game Age of Wushu (aka The Age Of Wulin) might be heading to the big screen: “The Age of Wushu game looks and plays like a major martial arts motion picture so bringing the property to movie screens is a logical evolution,” say Shi Hai, chairman of Snail Games.
What’s more interesting is there’s a slight possibility that Jet Li could be involved. After all, he lent his likeness to the game’s promotional material; but then again, Li openly stated that 2006’s Fearless was his last “wushu” film. Never say never again, right? As always, we’ll keep you updated. Until then, watch Jet Li featured in the poster and commercial for Age of Wushu.
We all know how video game based movies turn out, just like pure shit. Jet Li seems to have lost his way, and since he no longer does wushu films, Hong Kong directors don’t pursue him as much. I see no reason why Jet Li should not do wushu anymore, he is getting old, but that doesn’t mean he should not be in a Wushu movie ever again!
Jet Li should have retired from DMX, not wushu. =D
