Michelle Yeoh will reprise her role as female warrior Yu Shu Lien for the prequel of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, reports the BBC
Filming is expected to start in July on the new film titled The Green Destiny and will be shot in both China and New Zealand.
The original was released in 2000 and still is the most successful Chinese language film of all time making $213.5 million.
The prequel has been delayed by a legal fight over rights for the film.
You can read more about that in the BBC and find out what made the original so successful.
If you saw the original, you likely remember this epic fight scene.
Re: Prequel set for Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon: Wonder if Ang Lee will be directing and Jackie Chan will be in the cast.
Both wanted to work with each other since Chan’s release of “Rumble in the Bronx” circa 1990’s.
