And Now They're Going to Re-Imagine. . .

News: Exclusive: RAIN to Awaken The Dragon? | Latino Review: "El Mayimbe here with a scoop!

About two years ago this month, the trades reported that Warner Independent Pictures has set 'The Shield' exec producer Kurt Sutter to write and make his feature directing debut on 'Awaken the Dragon.'

A noir-style remake of 'Enter the Dragon,' the 1973 martial arts classic that made Bruce Lee a global star, Sutter said he's writing 'Awaken the Dragon' as a contemporized drama about a lone FBI agent who pursues a rogue Shaolin monk into the bloody world of underground martial arts fight clubs."

Ooooo... fight clubs that hasn't been used in a martial art film. LOL And the sequel to the sequel could have the hero shipwrecked on an island and taken in by a strange character and then find himself as the human prey to his hunter host and his cronies because that is a long forgotten plot that hasn't been used enough in films and TV series.

In order to broaden the target audience, the movie is now planned as "Awaken Pete's Dragon". And (of course) the dragon sparkles!
