*This month marks the 50th anniversary of Bruce Lee’s martial arts classic “Enter The Dragon.” In marking the milestone, Lee’s daughter, Shannon Lee, announced a new anime series “House of Lee.”
This is the first Bruce Lee anime production, from Bruce Lee Entertainment, content platform Shibuya and its co-founder, artist Emily Yang, per Deadline. The series will premiere in 2024.
“Anime is an amazing medium for telling a truly creative story where Bruce Lee can be Bruce Lee,” Shannon Lee said, Deadline reports. “I’m so excited for the possibilities for action, fantasy, history, culture, and creativity within this medium.”
She added, “I love Emily and Shibuya’s perspective. They are such creative, hard working, skilled artists with an amazing brand, I just knew that they would be perfect collaborators. The organic way it all came together spoke volumes of our potential collaboration, and it’s been great!”
Per Deadline, “House of Lee is an action/fantasy series that sees Bruce Lee fighting to assemble his Dragon Warriors before the world plunges too far into darkness and shadow.”
According to the outlet, the forthcoming series takes inspiration from the famous Bruce Lee quote, “Those who are unaware they are walking in darkness will never seek the light.”
“I found myself immediately resonating with the narrative as it touches on themes of spirituality, the battle against your inner demons, and so many aspects of the AAPI (Asian American and Pacific Islander) experience,” Yang said about the project.
“It being such a personal story, Shannon wanted to really retain creative control and ownership. At Shibuya, our mission is to help creators do just that and so I knew this was something we had to be a part of,” Yang added.
