Chinese director Zhang Yimou's partner, producer Zhang Weiping said they are still working on the script for a martial arts project with Jackie Chan and they might even ask Jet Li to join the cast. 

Producer Zhang revealed the news during an interview with Chinese newspaper Nanfang Daily. 　　

Zhang said this film would show a completely new Jackie Chan and would not simply be another Jackie Chan comedy. 　

Jackie Chan is very excited by the project but Jet Li says he will not make any more martial art films unless he finds a really good script. 　　

Both of them say they have been looking for an opportunity to work together.

Zhang Yimou will do his third martial art film with Chow Yun-Fat and Gong Li first. Shooting for that project is scheduled to begin in February next year.
