CCTV just started shooting this 40 part series in Guangdong—with a total budget of $6.4 million. That figure sounds awfully minuscule, but what we do we know. The person they picked to play Bruce Lee is Hong Kong actor Kwok -Kwan Chan (陈国坤), who got his big break starring in Stephen Chow movies such as Shao-Lin Soccer.



That might actually be fun to watch if the producers can dig up enough accurate history on Bruce before he became an HK star and as long as SARFT doesn't turn this into "Chinese man shows white Americans what-for...and takes hot white girl from the white man to boot".
