Prime cuts? Amazon and Sony developing a series adaptation of Ang Lee’s acclaimed ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’

A Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon series is in the works from Prime Video and Sony Pictures. Writer-producer Jason Ning (co-executive producer for The Brothers Sun) and Ron Moore (Outlander) will develop the series adaptation of the 2000 box office smash from two-time Best Director Academy Award winner Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain).

The upcoming series will follow Shu Lien (previously played by Michelle Yeoh) and Mu Bai (previously played by Chow Yun-Fat), two star-crossed warriors, as they struggle between forbidden love and the pull of modernity — caught between preserving their way of life or embracing a future together (via Deadline).

The original Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was noted for its stunning martial arts choreography by Yuen Woo-ping (The Matrix), who went on to direct its 2016 sequel, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny.

      My guess would be that they’re going to try to do the whole thing.

      I actually really liked the sequel. I know thats not a popular opinion but its a fun film & Donnie Yen has some fantastic fight scenes. It just has a different feel from the original which I didn’t think was a bad thing.

    Golden Globe winner Michelle Yeoh. 🙂
