Jet Li Hero

http://www.apple.com/trailers/miramax/hero/large.html

This movie looks pretty sweet

Premise
"Before he became the First Emperor of China, Ying Zheng (played by Cheng Daoming), King of the state of Qin, brutal and ruthless, was the target of many assassins. Among them, Broken Sword, (played by Tony Leung Chiu-Wai), Flying Snow, (played by Maggie Cheung) and Sky (played by Donnie Yen) are the best. However, their plan was challenged by No-name (played by Jet Li). He rarely spoke and no one knew what he was up to, but something was hidden behind this eyes. No-name told the king that his enemies had been wiped out by him, but the king did not trust him. When No-name finally start to fulfill his wish, killing the king, something more deadly was waiting for him ...

According to some insider, Jet Li decided to take the project and receive a pay-cut mainly because of the character of No-name, psychological and tragical. Cheng Daoming has replaced Jiang Wen as the king, later became the First Emperor. Interesting enough, both of them have played Pu Yi, the last emperor of China before. Jiang Wen played the last emperor in The Last Empress (1987) and the First Emperor in The Emperor's Shadow (1996). Cheng Daoming was the lead in TV series The Last Emperor. Zhang Ziyi will play a very minor role in the film, the maid of Broken Sword. She was secretly in love with her master and was willing to sacrifice her life for him. Her weapons are twin knives."
 
Re: Jet Li Hero

I already have it and seen the movie several times since early spring, it's been out in China since 2000-01. I REALLY don't like how they're portrtaying it in the commercials because they're setting it up for something it's really not. It's not some mindless revenge story, it's a beautifull movie that touches on the many aspects of ancient chinese culture, martial arts, swordsmanship intertwined with caligraphy. A person looking for some mindless kung-fu flick will be dissapointed with the movie because it's incredibly deep, meaningfull, and powerfull. I also can't stand that they changed the title from "Hero" to "Jet Li's Hero" just a pathetic attempt to cash in on his fame to get ppl to watch it.
