Bruce Lee died in 1973 from swelling of the brain
Bruce Lee's iconic 1973 martial arts movie Enter the Dragon is to be remade for a new audience, Hollywood studio Warner Bros has announced.

The remake will be written and directed by Kurt Sutter, who also produces the US hit police drama The Shield.
