Almost 50 years after his death, Bruce Lee remains an icon of cinema and martial arts.
In a statement, Ang Lee had this to say about why he wanted to make his own Bruce Lee biography.
And people continue to make new art about him — including an upcoming biopic directed by Ang Lee, and starring Ang Lee’s son Mason Lee in the lead role.
Accepted as neither fully American nor Fully Chinese, Bruce Lee was a bridge between East and West who introduced Chinese Gung Fu to the world, a scientist of combat and an iconic performing artist who revolutionized both the martial arts and action cinema.
