Ok folks I have no idea about this scoop. At one level it sounds like the annoying sort of thing that would happen today, but at the same time... well I can't imagine any sort of large scale rerelease of FISTS OF FURY or CHINESE CONNECTION or RETURN OF THE DRAGON... ya know? But hey, sure why not? Any reason to get BRUCE LEE on the BIG screen is great by me. He's just too damn cool. I especially love his yells and howls. He rocks so hard. Well, let's see what comes of this, perhaps nothing, perhaps something. Keep your ears open to hear one way or the other...

In the wake of the millions of dollars generated from the Star Wars re-releases, Fox is searching for the next big release. The story goes like this:

Fox will re-package the four (not including Enter the Dragon, which is owned by Warner) Bruce Lee movies and will re-release them with their original name. The first three will be issued first, followed by a massive advertising strategy that will place the new version of "Game of Death" which is being currently worked on as the main attraction.

First Fox will release "The Big Boss", followed by "Fist of Fury, and "Way of the Dragon." These movies will be released in a period of 8 months, which gives each film 3 months to perform. At the end of these 8 months, "Game of Death" will be released.

Fox is planning on using digital effects to better the quality of each film, they will edit-in scenes of Lee that were cut from the U.S print and will edit out other segments of each film (one's that do not include Lee) to give it a faster, 90s style. The fights will all stay the same. The music and the dubbing will all change. Reports indicate that the same individual who was hired to dub Lee's voice in the new footage used in the re-issue of "Enter the Dragon" will once again carry on the dubbing of Bruce Lee. Earlier in the year, Warner Brothes rerelased "Enter the Dragon" in the same format of Fox, however, they released the film in video, losing a potential large audience that would have been interested in watching Bruce Lee's biggest international hit on screen. Eager to gain from Warner's lost, Fox's re-releases of Bruce Lee's film are considered to be a top priority in the studio. The legendary Bruce Lee is gathering a new sense of status withing the film community. Two years ago, it was reported in Variety, that a new Bruce Lee film is in the works, using digital effects to bring back the actor in a full-length film. Lee was chosen because of his status as one of the most loved action stars of all time.

And Fox's planned re-releases will focus on that popularity all the way to the bank.
