Trailer Watch: The Forbidden Kingdom

With The Forbidden Kingdom, Rob Minkoff (The Lion King, Stewart Little) takes on a martial arts action adventure laced with humor--and Jet Li vs. Jackie Chan. And in the upcoming epic-scale sequel The Mummy: The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, which Rob Cohen (The Fast and the Furious, Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story) filmed in Beijing and Shanghai, another historic martial arts confrontation takes place: between Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh. Lionsgate and The Weinstein Co. release the Forbidden Kingdom April 18; Universal opens Mummy 3, which just wrapped, on August 1.

Here's an unofficial, non-studio, non-pro Mummy 3 teaser (the studio hasn't finalized its first trailer yet):
