Jet Li is in negotiations to play the mummy in the third installment in the popcorn action-adventure series. Or is it the fourth? Does "Scorpion King" count? At any rate, those who may have noticed that Jet Li could not possibly pass as ancient Egyptian will be relieved to learn that the film is set to take place in China, and apparently will feature at least one scene with the famous terracotta warriors constructed to guard the mausoleum of the first Emperor to rule all of China (Qin Shi Huang, for you trivia buffs). But I suppose the question on everyone's lips is: "Will Jet Li kick Brendan Fraser in the face with one of those patented over-his-own-shoulder kicks?" And the answer is, as always: "It depends on how hard you pray."
The Emperor is dead; long live the Emperor.
