Warner Independent Pictures has set "The Shield" exec producer Kurt Sutter to write and make his feature directing debut on "
Awaken the Dragon."
Noir-style remake of "Enter the Dragon," the 1973 martial arts classic that made Bruce Lee a global star, will be produced by John Wells, Fred Weintraub and Paul Heller.
Sutter said he's writing "
Awaken the Dragon" 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.
