Jet Li has been cast in Hong Kong director Tsui Hark's new 3-D kung fu epic, "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate."



Tsui's wife, producer Nansun Shi, told The Associated Press in an e-mail that Li will star alongside China's Zhou Xun and Chen Kun and Taiwan's Kwai Lun-mei and Mavis Fan in the $35 million production scheduled for release in December 2011.

She said the story is inspired by Tsui's 1992 martial arts film "Dragon Inn," which revolves around the face-off between imperial agents and a warrior couple in a desert inn.

China's Sina.com news website reported earlier the Hong Kong filmmaker started shooting on Sunday.
