Michelle Yeoh Back for CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON 2

Michelle Yeoh is set to reprise her role as Yu Shu Lien in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2 - The Green Destiny, which is set to be directed by martial arts choreographer Yuen Wo Ping. The sequel revolves around her character.

She joins Donnie Yen who is playing Silent Wolf in the sequel to the Weinstein's classic 2000 martial arts film. The sequel is based on Iron Knight, Silver Vase written by Wang Du Lu. It's the fifth book in the Crane-Iron Pentalogy - which the first Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was based on.

Harvey Weinstein had this to say in a statement:

I loved Ang Lee's film. 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 of Crouching Tiger.  Master Yuen worked with me on Iron Monkey, Kill Bill and now Grandmaster.He is a first-class director and choreographer, and I am thrilled to be teaming up with him once more.  With John Fusco's incredible script and the dream team of Donnie Yen and Michelle Yeoh we are in great shape.

John Fusco previously explained the story saying:

This introduces a new generation of star-crossed lovers, and a new series of antagonists in a battle of good and evil. It has a Knights Errant quality. There is an alternate universe in the books, a martial forest that exists alongside the real world, full of wandering sword fighters, medicine men, defrocked priests, poets, sorcerers and Shaolin renegades. It’s so vast and rich, and I found characters from the second and third books in the series to create a most interesting stew while being as true to the source material as I could be.

I'm a huge fan of the first movie, and I'm really hoping that this sequel turns out to be just as awesome! I'm happy that Yeoh decided to come back for it.
