What? I can't be the only guy who remembers that movie.

Anyway, Warner brothers is looking to remake 'Enter the Dragon' with "Awaken the Dragon."

Tounrament based martial arts movies are a dime a dozen in the martial arts movie world yet Enter the Dragon is held pretty above the rest. While plot/dialog wise it's not Citizen Kane by any means, it's mainly elevated to legendary status due to it's charismatic star Bruce Lee (which also introduced the world the glory that is BOLO and to a lesser extent Jim Kelly's Afro). Now Warners (who distributed the original Enter the Dragon back in 1973) is looking to do a remake of the classic.

With the huge popularity of Mixed Martial Arts these days it's not really that surprising to hear a remake of the ultimate tourney movie is getting made. I'm very used to remakes and honestly I have no problem with remakes as some of my favorite movies are remakes (The Thing, The Fly, The Blob). The success of this movie really rests on the shoulders of who they cast as the star.

Here’s some some of what Variety reports:

Warner Independent Pictures has set "The Shield" exec producer Kurt Sutter to write and make his feature directing debut on "Awaken the Dragon."

"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."

Sutter will look to discover a fight star in the role of the monk and cast an established American actor to play the FBI agent.
