die tragically on the set of The Crow, leading to talk of a Lee family curse.

Bruce Lee's stature, and that of his final and most legendary film, have was supposed to be developing a remake for Warners entitled Awaken the Dragon but that project also came to nothing.

Now, it appears Warner Bros. will take another crack at remaking Enter the Dragon. Deadline reports that the studio is targeting action movie maven David Leitch to direct the project. Leitch is said to be in the very early stages of talks with the studio. A writer is also reportedly being sought.

Leitch began his film career as a stunt performer and later a stunt coordinator, working on such films as Jumper, Conan the Barbarian and TRON: Legacy. He made his directorial debut, uncredited, working alongside Chad Stahelski on the action-heavy Keanu Reeves vehicle John Wick. His first solo directorial effort, 2017's Atomic Blonde, put Charlize Theron through the paces in a series of The Division.

The martial arts stylings of Enter the Dragon may come across somewhat cheesy today, but there's no denying the special on-screen magic of Lee, an actor who combined fighting skill and movie star charisma in a wholly unique and inimitable way. Finding an actor to bring the same combination of talents to the screen will be a truly difficult task for Warner Bros. as they set out to remake Lee's most iconic film. Deadpool 2 director Leitch, with his vast experience as a stunt coordinator and now as a director of highly successful action-heavy films, would seem like an ideal choice to head up the project.
