Martial Law veteran learns wirework martial arts While promoting her current film, The Scorpion King, Kelly Hu talked about her role in the upcoming Jet Li/DMX/Mark Dacascos film Cradle 2 the Grave. I play the bad girl, she said. I kidnap DMX's daughter, or I help to kidnap DMX's daughter along with Mark Dacascos. I do a lot of martial arts and wirework in this film. Since shooting just began, Hu did not know if she would fight Jet Li in the film but was hopeful. I think they're going to do a fight with us. They told me that they have and I'm hoping I get to do it. Cradle 2 the Grave is the second collaboration between Jet Li and director Andrzej Bartkowiak after Romeo Must Die, and DMX's third collaboration with Bartkowiak after Romeo and Exit Wounds. Both of Bartkowiak's previous films have featured wirework martial arts, so Hu is now learning about that technique. [more]
