It's a Pic of Jet Li in the 'Mummy 3'
I am still holding out hope...

Director Rob Cohen is certainly doing the right thing by giving folks a taste of his new outing The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor considering most people are wary of the third installment. Today it isn't just an update, but instead our actual first look at Jet Li who plays a despotic Emperor in 50 B.C. whose evil is punished by a terrible curse laid on him by wizardress Michelle Yeoh: he and his army are turned into to terra cotta for all time; that is, unless he is re-awakened which, of course, is where the O'Connells come back into it.
Here is a snippet of what Rob had to say along with the picture:
When I went into the blog business, I didn’t know what to expect but I felt that, by reaching out, I could talk more directly to the people always in my mind in shaping a movie—namely you guys. So, it’s been a great pleasure for me to read your posts, which I do, and to listen to your enthusiasm, your thoughts, your world-view. Some, like Delilah, David C., Clouded Realty, KL, Maz, and Matthew I have come to sense as people through their posts. But even with the occasional visitors, I feel my “movie family” expanding, while my wife gets ready to expand my personal family, as well.
Today, I shot Jet Li on his black stallion riding into battle in his jade armor. He looked nothing short of an Emperor. He has been totally professional and warm to me and the entire crew, like the prince he truly is.
He is really laying it on thick by naming the commenters, I am sure they all love to see they are taken seriously.

It must be killing Rob Cohen for him to have to kiss up to the small band of loony commentators who basically live on his blog. You get a sense in his writing that he know that he has a cinematic turkey on his hands and he would rather not even do the film if he had a choice. Any director who had some faith in the work he is doing would not lay it on as thick as Rob has been doing for this film and you almost feel bad for him.
