Back in January, The Weinstein Company announced that it was making a sequel to Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Now, producer Harvey Weinstein says the film is on track to begin filming next March in Asia.
"I loved Ang Lee's film," Weinstein said in a statement. "I thought it was a master class in directing, but I know we are in fantastic hands with Yuen Wo Ping directing the second installment."
Director Yuen Wo Ping was the fight choreographer responsible for the first film's memorable wirework. The fighting followup is now titled Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Green Destiny. The cast includes Crouching Tiger's Michelle Yeoh as Yu Shu Lien.
John Fusco (The Forbidden Kingdom, Hidalgo) is writing the script adapted from the Wang Du Lu book Iron Knight, Silver Vase.
