Last November, Ang Lee hopped onboard a major project. He was set to direct a Bruce Lee biopic, with his son Mason starring as the Martial Arts legend. Talented screenwriter Dan Futterman (Capote, Foxcatcher) will pen the script. Iโm now hearing this one starts production in late April.
Lee has been stuck in a rut of big studio machinery of late, with โTaking Woodstock,โ โBilly Lynnโs Long Halftime Walk,โ and โGemini Man.โ It seems as though he may have lost his mojo. What a better way to concoct a comeback than to tackle Bruce Lee. This one has the full approval of the Lee estate.
If you lived through โ90s, and aughts cinema, Lee could do no wrong. Almost every film he made turned into gold: โEat Drink, Man Woman,โ โThe Wedding Banquet,โ โSense and Sensibility,โ โThe Ice Strom,โ โCrouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,โ โBrokeback Mountain,โ โLust Cautionโ โLife of Piโ โฆ Even his 2003 โHulkโ was one of the more artful superhero movies ever made.
