Variety has announced Ang Lee is set to direct a film about martial arts legend Bruce Lee. Ang Lee, who has directed films such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Life of Pi, and Brokeback Mountain, will direct the feature that is set to star his own son, Mason Lee, in the lead role of Bruce Lee. The film will be written by Dan Futterman.
Ang Lee said in a statement; “Accepted as neither fully American nor fully Chinese, Bruce Lee was a bridge between East and West who introduced Chinese Kung Fu to the world, a scientist of combat, and an iconic performing artist who revolutionized both the martial arts and action cinema. I feel compelled to tell the story of this brilliant, unique human being who yearned for belonging, possessed tremendous power in a 135-pound-frame, and who, through tireless hard work, made impossible dreams into reality.”
