Bruce Lee,My Brother,a biopic,traces the early life story of the man who put Hong Kong action films on the map,its director,Raymond Yip told The Hollywood Reporter. The film pieces together the superstars childhoodand young adulthood from the memories of his four surviving siblings,Phoebe,Agnes,Peter who died in 2008 and Robert. The biopic took years to put on the screen,not least because of the difficult task of finding a young actor to play the role of the iconic megastar. Weve been on the lookout for a possible candidate all over China since 2008,but no one could capture the Hong Kong spirit of the young Bruce Lee, Yip said. The film began pre-production in March to push for a November 25 release in Hong Kong. The 4.6 million project has been snapped up by distributors in over 10 territories.
