David Leitch in early talks to direct Enter the Dragon remake

Bruce Lee’s 1973 classic “Enter the Dragon” is getting a remake, and word is that “Deadpool 2” director David Leitch is in early talks to direct the film.

The original film was directed by Robert Clouse, and was also tragically released right after Lee’s death.

“Enter the Dragon” sees 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.

The next step will be to assign a writer to the project. News via Deadline.
