"This is kung fu. It's not a game. It is not a religion. It's about who lives, and who dies."

If you're a fan of Bruce Lee and martial arts, you've gotta watch this new trailer for the upcoming film Birth of the Dragon. The story revolves around Lee and his legendary fight against Kung Fu master Wong Jack Man, who doesn't like what Lee is doing with the art of Kung Fu. A lot of the story is shown in the trailer. This looks like a fantastic film, and I'm excited about watching it.

Birth of the Dragon was directed by George Nolfi, director of The Adjustment Bureau, and writer of films such as Ocean's Twelve, The Sentinel, and The Bourne Ultimatum. I like the tone of the film, and the guy they got to play Bruce Lee — Philip Ng — is great!

Young, up-and-coming martial artist, Bruce Lee, challenges legendary kung fu master Wong Jack Man to a no-holds-barred fight in Northern California. Set against the backdrop of San Francisco’s Chinatown, this cross-cultural film chronicles Bruce Lee’s emergence as a martial-arts superstar after his legendary secret showdown with fellow martial artist Wong Jack Man.

There's no release date for the film yet, so stay tuned for any updates.
