Justin Lin to Finish the Game

Better Luck Tomorrow director, and more recently director of Annapolis and the Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Justin Lin, is set to take on what appears to be a comedic period piece about the making of the Bruce Lee's last movie, Game of Death. The project is titled, FINISHING THE GAME.

Bruce had started to work on Game of Death (which also starred his students Kareem Abdul-Jabaar and Dan Inosanto and which he wears the famous yellow jump suit) when he got the call from Hollywood for Enter the Dragon and production was left at a stand still. Lee then passed away weeks before the release of Enter the Dragon and then other parties took what footage existed from the in-progress Game of Death and then finished it, cheesily, with either Bruce Lee body doubles or cut-out images of Bruce himself.

Lin explains that "My movie is about the making of it, the casting of who is going to become that fake Bruce Lee. It's a comedy, it's a period piece. It takes place in the '70s, and a lot of the actors I worked with before, I'm bringing them all back. It'll be a nice little reunion, but it's about actors in the '70s trying to make it in Hollywood."
