Ang Lee: The next Bruce Lee movie will not be shot at 120 frames per second and superhero movies will not be shot again

To promote the 4K re-release of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in North America, director Ang Lee accepted an exclusive interview with foreign media "DiscussingFilm". When asked whether his next film "Bruce Lee: The Adventurers" would still be shot in 120 frames, Lee replied "No".

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was re-screened in North America on February 17 and earned $170,000 last weekend, ranking 16th. Ang Lee said that he was 45 years old when he directed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which was right in the middle of his mid-life crisis. He put a lot of confusion and thinking in his life into this film.

He admitted that this was the most difficult work he had ever done in his career, and he would not handle a project of this scale again for a simple reason: "I am too old (68 years old)."

In 2003, Ang Lee directed "The Incredible Hulk" released by Universal. As a work before the rise of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it received mixed reviews at the time. Ang Lee said that he would not make another superhero movie adapted from comics. "I made it once, and I won't do it again. I was very happy to make that movie, but I was not very comfortable with the polarized reviews after the movie was released."

Ang Lee's works in recent years have been obsessed with technologies such as 4K, 3D and 120 frames, but they have not been commercially successful. When asked whether his next work "The Bruce Lee Story" will use 120 frames, he said: "120 frames is challenging audience habits and industry standards, because 24 frames is a historical formation. This movie will not use 120 frames, but I hope to innovate in the action scenes, just like Bruce Lee's innovation in kung fu back then."

Ang Lee's son, Lee Chun, will play Bruce Lee in "Bruce Lee's Biography", for which he has undergone three years of special training. The film is produced by Sony's 3000 Pictures, and Bruce Lee's daughter Shannon Lee will participate in the film's production as one of the producers. The film is currently in the script stage, and the latest version of the script was written by Dan Futterman, the screenwriter of "Foxcatcher" and "Capote".
