Movie News: Enter the Dragon to be remade

Yup, you read it right. Warner Independent Productions is remaking Bruce Lee's 1973 martial arts classic. Normally, I'd make a comment about this, but right now, I'm stuck at work for another 3 hours, and I'm too frigging tired to chime in with my two cents. I just thought I'd share with you.

Wow, this is interesting. Who's playing the lead role? I think I missed it. Still, they shouldn't call it a remake of Enter the Dragon....just make the damn movie without calling it a Bruce Lee remake. I don't think it's necessary.Cloud418

No one's been cast yet. Judging from what I read inthe story, I think they're lookin for a relatively unknown actor for the part.

And hollywood strikes again!

This doesn't sound so outlandish as some years ago Jet Li starred in remake of the Chinese Connection that was called Fist ofLegend and that turned out pretty good although there was a bit of a backlash in the asian nations due to their almost religious reverence for Bruce Lee. I'm going to wait and see who is going to star in it and, more importantly, who is doing their fight choreography before I attempt to pre-judge the project. Lord_Daemon

That is a very good point. You're right about that. Fist of Legend was and still is a badass movie...

Yeah I know what you mean. Did yo watch SPL? It was sort of going back to the Cop Movies of the 80's in Hong Kong. It featured Donnie yen and Sammo Hung kicking ass.

So yeah, this remake better be good....I have feeling Robin Shou (From Mortal Kombat) will star in this movie...don't know why but I just feel it...lol

I forgot all about him. Probably not a bad idea to cast him, especially if it going to be released from Warner Bros.'s independent film division. It'd save some money from casting, it could be used to go into the production of the film.

I haven't seen SPL. I have seen some Hong Kong cop movies like Police Story and Hard Boiled.

Those are both great films and Sha Po Lang (renamed "Killzone" in the U.S.) is another must see film. Here's a taste of the action you will see but there's is also a compelling story behind the motivations of the characters which makes this film stand out from the pack.

That was some nice action. I have to check this one out.

Why does Hollywood constantly have to remake classic movies?Headbanger88

They aren't remaking just classics, but some of the more modern Korean films as well.

Hmmmm...I can't think of anyone. Maybe Tony Jaa or even Donnie Yen.Cloud418

Anyone but Tony Jaa. The guy does crazy stunts and pulls out amazing moves, but he couldn't act to save his life.

You're right but I wasn't thinking really about the acting as much as the ass beatings.

I'm sick of Hollywood remaking/raping good films that are in a foreign language. Butchering these films for an audience who can't bring themselves to read subtitles is awful, because when it comes to greats such as Oldboy (which is being remade) the people who can't read subtitles probably won't understand what is going on in the film, unless its simplified... alot.Samwel_X

the oldboy remake was canceled:|

they canceled the oldboy remake you know:|

Horrible idea. The only thing that made that movie worth watching were the martial artists...and without them...well.. its just gonna be a generic action movie with probably unkown characters.jealentus

im pretty sure people still do martial arts today:|

No I mean Bruce Lee, Blackbelt Jones, etc. etc. They were martial arts superstars. Now its going to be Tony Jaa or Jet Li or someone like that and its not going to have the charm the older dudes had. That or the signature corniness, audio quality, immersion, any of it. Its just going to be another modern martial arts film and thus no need to remake.

No one will ever replace Bruce Lee. Ever.

I know there could be improvements made on some parts of the film, but there is no need to re-shoot the movie since Bruce Lee gave the best performance possible. Yeah, there may be better supporting casts out there, but I only watch that Movie for one reason and one reason only! Bruce Lee!

Whats going to be next? A remake of "The Crow"? Oh wait, Hollywood already **** up every movie after the first one already, so their work is done there!
