Much has been said about the life of legendary action star Bruce Lee, but there are still so many things about the kung fu master and Hollywood actor that the world does not know about.
This is what his daughter Shannon Lee, who was only four when Bruce died, and her mother Linda will help create - a biopic that will bring to life the beloved Bruce Lee, according to Deadline.
Bruce Lee's family has teamed up with Last Vegas producer Lawrence Grey, Ben Everard and veteran producer Janet Yang to create his biographical film.
While there was already a feature film about his life - the 1993 Universal flick Dragon, Shannon argues that there are still so many things about her father's life that the public does not know about.
"There have been projects out there involving my father, but they've lacked a complete understanding of his philosophies and artistry," Shannon said.
"They haven't captured the essence of his beliefs in martial arts or storytelling. The only way to get audiences to understand the depth and uniqueness of my father is to generate our own material and find amazing like-minded partners to work with. Many don't know that Bruce Lee was also a prolific writer and a creator of his own unique art and philosophy. That's what we want to show, not just his kick-ass physicality, but the depth of his character and beliefs."
The biopic will be the latest project of Bruce Lee Entertainment, which launched just last year. Grey added that they will be recruiting a world-class filmmaker and writer to work with them on the film.
Shannon said that they will be focusing on the intellectual approach her father took when it came to overcoming obstacles, as well as how he formed his own martial arts style, the Jeet Kune Do.
"In hundreds of years, how many people created their own martial art, something he used to break tradition because he believed in humanity and that the world was one brotherhood," she said.
Shannon called her father's approach to business and nutrition as "revolutionary" since it mixed Eastern and Western philosophies.
Bruce Lee has also written over thousands of pages about his life, and this is what Dragon is based on. But Shannon said that it lacked the right depth of essence her father would have wanted.
"There is a lot that hasn't been told yet, and many lessons that deserve to live on," she said.
