An IGN reader has posted news that Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh have joined the cast of The Mummy 3. The exact report is as follows-

‘I attend Chapman University in Orange, CA where tonight Rob Cohen did a Q&A after a screening of his film Dragon:The Bruce Lee Story. During the Q&A, someone asked what he thinks about Jackie Chan and Jet Li. In his answer, he confirmed that Jet Li will play the Mummy in The Mummy 3, which he is directing. He also said that the film will take place in China and Michelle Yeoh will also be in the film. The biggest bombshell was that the film’s protagonist will not be Brenden Fraser, but rather his character’s son, now 22 years-old. Also, Jet Li will be the head Mummy in a group of Mummies that were the Teracotta army.’

Variety reports that Grindhouse, the double-header from Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodruigez will not be shown in its complete form in non-English speaking territories.

Outside of the US, UK and some other English speaking countries, the Planet Terror and Deathproof segments will be released three months apart as standalone features, with no decision yet on the release order. There may be additional footage added to each story to flesh them out.

The reason for this is that the studio believe that the conceit of the two-part exploitation movie will be lost on foreign language audiences. The cynical might suggest that the real reason for the split is the doubling-up of box office revenue.
