Jet Li In The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

The first image of Jet Li in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor has been posted on Rob Cohen’s official site. In the film, Li plays a totally new Mummy - a shape-shifting Chinese Emperor on a quest to achieve immortality. At the moment, Li is shooting his part on location in China.

Cohen also posted on his blog. Talking about the soundtrack to the movie, he said:

“As to the music: guys, trust me. Randy and I have done two classic scores (DRAGON: THE BRUCE LEE STORY and DRAGONHEART) that continue to be used in trailers and commercials a decade and a half later. This will be an original score with new themes, played by the London Symphony Orchestra recorded at Abbey Road Studios. There will nothing “synth paddy” about it. It will be massive, thematic, and pulsing. I have great respect for Al Silvestri but this is a new, re-booted “Mummy” and it will have the score to match.”

The film will be released on August 1st, 2008.
