BRUCE LEE - BRUCE LEE'S SIBLINGS PLANNING THEATRICAL BIOPIC

BRUCE LEE'S SIBLINGS PLANNING THEATRICAL BIOPIC

Chinese officials and the brother and sister of Bruce Lee announced Monday that they plan to work together to produce a movie about the martial-arts legend. The Chinese website Zhejiang online said that Robert Lee, Bruce's brother, will produce the biopic and Phoebe Lee, his sister "will also help." Although last year, a 40-part TV series about Lee was aired in China, the new movie marks the first time that Lee's family has approved a film or TV project about the actor who died 36 years ago at age 32 from an allergic reaction to the pain-killing drug Equagesic that caused swelling of the brain. Although the filmmakers said that "the movie will have three episodes," it was not clear whether they would be part of one film or whether three separate movies about Lee would be produced.
