Justin Lin to adapt Bruce Lee's 'Warrior'
"Fast & Furious" and "Star Trek Beyond" director, Justin Lin, is bringing Bruce Lee's crime drama "Warrior" to TV.
Martial artist and film star Bruce Lee wrote the original material that lies behind Cinemax's "Warrior," and Justin Lin is executive producing -- most likely also directing -- a pilot episode for the HBO subisduary.
The post-Civil War series will be set in San Francisco, Deadline details, and tells the story of a young martial arts practitioner who, fresh off the boat from China, becomes entangled in the Bay's Chinatown Tong wars.
Jonathan Tropper, co-creator of hit Cinemax series "Banshee," is attached as not only another executive producer but also as the series' writer.
Lin directed two 2015 episodes of season two of "True Detective" for HBO.
Lee became well known for his performances in a clutch of early 1970s features, including "Fist of Fury," "Way of the Dragon," and "Enter the Dragon" but died age 32 in 1973.
