Star Wars Episode 3

Rumor

Transporter 2

Rumor

Shu Qi will appear in the sequel to "The Transporter".

Fact

Jason Statham returs as Frank, the man who'll transport anything, anywhere. Shu Qi will not be reprising her role Lai, which of course makes perfect sense. After all the Frank character is a James Bond like hero, so naturally he'll hook up with a new girl in every film. Amber Valletta is his new love interest, while Corey Yuen and Louis Leterrier are back on directing duties.
