-- Wushu --

Jackie Chan, who was in Cannes a few days ago to promote the movie 'Wushu', directed by Antony Szeto, never forgot the victims of Sichuan Earthquake. Sharing the same sentiments as Jet Li, he says that relief effort is a long term work, and it would take a long time to rebuild everything and heal the minds of the affected.

In 'Wushu', Sammo Hung plays a wushu coach, but he's just a big supporting role. The leads are the five real life young wushu athletes. The movie is about the growth and development of the two brothers who have been studying at a wushu school since young, and how they overcome hurdles and unfavourable conditions, eventually making some headways, and emerging tops at wushu competitions.

'Wushu' is slated for release in China in September/October, according to Antony Szeto.

Jackie Chan says that after the reality TV programme The Disciple is concluded in June, he would be shooting a martial arts movie starring the winners, again presenting Chinese wushu to the audiences in various parts of world.  Sina
