I’m a big fan of Bruce Lee and his films (Chinese Connection
being my favorite) and upon reading this news, I didn’t know how to feel at
first. Director Rob Cohen (who helmed the Bruce Lee Bio pic DRAGON)
said this recently to Latino Review about his new film
RAGE AND FURY which would showcase the
deceased Bruce Lee in a role:
The big
headline is that I am NOT using clips from the film; I am creating an
entirely photo-realistic Bruce Lee with new, advanced digital technology.
Digital Domain who did “XXX” and “Stealth” with me are on it big time. We
are in the vfx development stage.
You can read
the entire interview here. Now isn’t that
out of line? I mean where is the line anyway? I’m not sure, but this feels
like somebody is crossing it to me. The man is dead, he left us with his
legacy, what else do want from him? Leave him be! If I’d be dead and some
schmuck decided to CG me into a movie, putting words in my mouth and all, I
would haunt his ass hardcore! Just feels disrespectful to me. What think
you? Spit back bullets below!
