George Nolfi Charts Bruce Lee Bio "Birth Of The Dragon"

Variety reports that George Nolfi ("The Adjustment Bureau") is set to call action on the Bruce Lee biopic Birth of the Dragon.

The story charts  the real-life no-rules fight in San Francisco's Triad-controlled Chinatown in 1965 between Lee and China’s most famous kung fu master Wong Jack Man

That event will be used as a starting point for a bigger scale action movie with the pair battling Chinatown gangsters.

"Nixon" and "Ali" scribes Stephen J. Rivele and Christopher Wilkinson wrote the script. The pair will also produce the film with Bill Block, Janice Williams and Michael London.

Production hopes to begin next spring.
