Bad ass martial artist and actor Jet Li, along with Delroy Lindo and Jason Statham will be starring in a film called The One, a science fiction thriller movie from genre specialists James Wong and Glen Morgan (Final Destination), according to a Variety report. The production cost for the movie appears to be $48 million, and is scheduled to begin shooting Jan. 29 in Los Angeles.

Wong will direct from a screenplay he co-wrote with Morgan. The pair are well known for writing and producing episodes of The X-Files and Millennium and for creating the short-lived Space: Above and Beyond for television.

The One will be produced by Revolution Studios, and the story is based on the idea that there are multiple universes with people similar to us in each of them. Lindo plays an agent whose responsibility is to ensure that people don't traverse these universes. Statham will play Lindo's partner. Both patrol the universes to prevent the renegade Jet Li from attempting to kill all of the other people like himself.
