The late Enter The Dragon star's family has teamed up with JA Media to make Bruce Lee, casting Tony Leung Ka-fai as the actor's father.
A director has yet to be revealed, although Variety claims that Zhang Yimou (House Of Flying Daggers) has repeatedly shown an interest in bringing Lee's story to the big screen.
The proposed movies have the support of Lee's brother Robert and sister Phoebe, with the pair appearing at a Beijing press conference to announce the project on Monday.
"We've read many books and seen many movies about Bruce Lee, but there are many inaccuracies in them," Robert commented.
Lee died 36 years ago this week from a cerebral edema caused by a reaction to prescription painkillers.
