Sunday, July 8. 2007Jet Li Talks about the Ideas behind Forbidden Kingdom-- Jet Li on Monkey King in Forbidden Kingdom -- Ideally, the identity of the person portraying the Monkey King should be kept secret. However, with advances in technology and information distribution, today's entertainment industry doesn't really have any secrets. By now everyone knows that I will be playing the Monkey King character in "Forbidden Kingdom".
In fact, when I first received the scrīpt three years ago the producer approached me to play the role of the Monkey King, but at that time there were problems with the scrīpt. At that time they portrayed the Monk as a great fighter. I felt this was a bit weird because, according to the original story, "Journey to the West", the Monk was the only role that was based on "reality". This character was based on the life of Buddhist Master Xuan-Zhang from the Tang Dyanasty. If his character was a great fighter the film wouldn't be accepted by the public. So after discussions with the producer we decided that the monk should not be a fighter. Otherwise the film would have a difficult time being accepted in Asia. Jet Li Blog >>More<<
