Warner Bros has set executive producer Kurt Sutter (FX's The Shield) to write and direct a remake to the 1973 kung fu classic, ENTER THE DRAGON, starring Bruce Lee. The remake will be titled AWAKEN THE DRAGON to be produced by John Wells, Fred Weintraub and Paul Heller. Sutter has indicated that he is adapting the classic story 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.
"I'm a huge noir fan, and this plot lends itself to the film I want to make," Sutter said. "I wanted to set it in these underground fight clubs where the action is really raw and expose the brutality of Shaolin kung fu. This will be more 'Raging Bull' than 'Crouching Tiger' in its viciousness."
