    "The Legend of Bruce Lee" Started Shooting

    A new TV biopic on the life of Hong Kong's Bruce Lee started shooting in the kung fu superstar's home town, Shunde city in south China's Guangdong Province.

    The local Foshan Daily newspaper, reports "The Legend of Bruce Lee" is being shot in the ancestral home of a local family. Hong Kong actor Danny Chan is playing the martial arts legend.

    "I'm a little bit nervous and very excited. But I will try my best to portray this role," said Danny Chan.

    Danny Chan says he's been a big Bruce Lee fan since he was a child. He learned Jeet Kune Do, the branch of kung fu Lee established, and often imitated the star.

    When he grew up, lots of people started to say he looks exactly like Bruce Lee did when he was young.

    In 2000, Danny Chan's likeness to Bruce Lee landed him the chance to play the part of a goalkeeper in "Shaolin Soccer". The film was directed and led by Hong Kong comedian Stephen Chow, who is also a fan of Bruce Lee.

    "I hope the drama will spread Bruce Lee's 'never give up' spirit during the Olympic 2008," Danny Chan said.

    We need more pictures of Danny Chan to see if he really look like Bruce Lee. I hope the movie will be good cause it would be an injustice if it isn't.

    A long promo for the new series here:

    [youtube]ZsPMMIE3E-Y[/youtube]

    Im really looking forward to this getting released in the summer but, as a Bruce Lee fan, it maybe a little disappointing. It looks pretty good, although it does look like fiction is taking preference over facts once again!

    An accurate recreation would be nice for once, some scenes look like they have used Dragon : the Bruce Lee Story (1993) as a template rather than Lee's own life story. Far too much over dramatisation by the looks of it.

    The American actress playing Linda Lee looks to be a fairly bad choice if the clips are anything to go by. Linda was involved in the casting of Bruce apparantly, you would think she would have also made sure at least to have found a suitable actress that looked like her lol.
