Deadpool 2's David Leitch in Talks to Direct ENTER THE DRAGON Remake

DqzaOPt.jpg


Hot off Deadpool 2, David Leitch is in early talks to direct Enter the Dragon, the remake of the 1973 martial arts classic that cemented Bruce Lee’s iconic status. The original was a global hit out of Hong Kong, but its release was marked with tragedy as it came right after Lee’s death. The 45th anniversary of his death on July 20, 1973 was last Friday. They will now set a writer.

In Enter the Dragon, a Shaolin martial artist is pressed to enter a karate tournament on the island owned by the secretive Han, who is suspected of using the gathering as a way to smuggle drugs around the world. The protagonist has his own motivation: revenge. He learns that his sister fought for her life and ultimately killed herself on Han’s island, rather than succumb to rape by a group of Han’s thugs.

Warner Bros has been trying to figure out a way to recapture the magic of the Robert Clouse-directed film for years, with filmmakers like Spike Lee and Brett Ratner developing versions of the Golden Harvest release. Leitch is an intriguing choice.

Aside from being — as the opening credits boast in Deadpool 2–one of the guys who killed John Wick’s dog, the John Wick co-director helmed the Charlize Theron actioner Atomic Blonde and was second unit director on such films as Jurassic World and Captain America: Civil War.

No remakes especially classics that they will ruin.

Notice how this article does not once state potential stars for this movie.

You'd think that would be a thorny issue...
 
No new ideas... just remake something.
 
Well.

They made Enter the Dragon, and then that film was copied a thousand times.

That makes this an official copy I guess?

Fuck the fuck off with this stupid idea.
 
No new ideas... just remake something.

That song has been sung since the first five years they started making films. Seriously. It's probably the oldest complaint in the medium.
 
They better not whitewash it.

One minor character, meant to portray an outsiders perspective.
 
lol @ these responses being blinded by their love for Bruce Lee and childhood nostalgia. Enter the Dragon has aged almost as poorly as Bruce Lee himself lmao. between, the horrendous sound effects, unrealistic fighting, shit dialogue, and campy delivery that would make George Lucas erect, this movie needs a remake. By removing the nostalgia goggles, and pretending your childhood didn't consist of pretending to kung fu some fuckers, you'll see this movie is borderline comedy.
 
Ehhhhh, probably gonna pass.

Probably.

100% agree

I hope in the remake they are able to insert CGI Monsters and have Bruce Lee use 200 nunchucks at once
 
I'm calling it right now.
Bautista is gonna be in it.

He's the only actor that has the same body frame and body language as Bolo Yeung from Enter the Dragon.

They could just get Bolo Yeung to come back

Dude is probably still juiced up
 
Lol @ Not wanting to see this remake.
