Rain to star in Enter the Dragon remake

rain_koreanstar.jpg Green Hornet isn't the only Bruce Lee vehicle being modernized in the United States. His last complete movie before his death, Enter the Dragon, will now get a noir remake dubbed Awaken the Dragon. It will be a contemporized drama about "a lone FBI agent who pursues a rogue Shaolin monk into the bloody world of underground martial arts fight clubs," according to First Showing. And it seems they've already decided who will play Bruce Lee's part - Korean megastar Rain. Since they haven't found the right actor for the FBI agent, we'd like to make a recommendation: Steven Colbert. You know you'd watch it.

so soon after the last "enter the dragon" remake? ("dead or alive")
someone has been impressed by rain's ninja skills, it seems.

rado: calling DOA a re-make is disingenuous. The plot of these movies is about as substantial or as important as your average porn. "They have a kung-fu tournament for some reason" is the equivalent of "delivery man walks into a horny woman's house."

Rain doesn't make a good impression as a bad ass. Way to girly.
