The Weinstein Company has set a May production start for a sequel to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The film will be based on Silver Vase, Iron Knight, the fifth book in the Crane-Iron Pentalogy by Wang Du Lu.
According to Deadline, the project will shoot in Asia from a script by John Fusco (The Forbidden Kingdom, Hidalgo), with Harvey Weinstein producing and veteran Chinese director Ronny Yu in talks to direct. Ang Lee, who directed the first film, is currently not involved with the followup.
“This was an opportunity to explore a lifelong passion I’ve had for Wu Sia, and if there wasn’t continuing source material, I would never have gotten involved,” Fusco told the site.
