‘The Great Gatsby ‘ director Baz Luhrmann to adopt small screen series ‘Kung Fu’ into film?

If Luhrmann finalizes the deal, he will have to do a rewrite first before proceeding with the project.

The original series followed a Shaolin monk named Caine who came to the American Old West armed only with his spiritual training and his skill in martial arts in search of his half brother.

It ran on ABC for more than 60 episodes and gained cult following.
