The late, legendary martial arts movie star Bruce Lee will live again in a new feature film via the wonders of computer effects.
The Korean ShinCine production, headed by Chul Shin and partially backed by Samsung, has acquired the rights to Lee's likeness from his estate to be featured prominently in a $50M chop socky project called DRAGON WARRIOR.
The film's script is currently going through its third draft and will be further refined with an eye towards American audiences.
DRAGON WARRIOR will be the first film to digitally recreate a known actor for a major film role. Still, don't expect this to happen overnight, due to word that ShinCine has not, as yet, selected a studio to create the film's CG material.
Regarding the project, Lee's daughter, Shannon Lee, explained why the family agreed to allow her father's image to be recreated, saying, "we believe in ShinCine's and Mr. Shin's enthusiasm and commitment to making a first-rate film."
