Shannon Lee recently conducted serious research about her father's early life and writes that the new film will not focus on yet another display of Bruce's skills, but on the formation and development of his personality, and the film will also talk about his philosophy and worldview.

There were many projects involving my father, but they did not have a full understanding of his philosophy and artistry. They missed the essence of his belief in martial arts. The only way for audiences to understand the depth and uniqueness of my father is to formulate their own material and find like-minded people to work on it. Many people don't know that Bruce Lee was also a prolific writer and creator of his own unique art and philosophy. We want to show not only his physical capabilities, but also his character and beliefs.
