Bruce Lee fans, rejoice! A film series about the martial art expert's life is in the works after his siblings gave the project a green light.
Phoebe and Robert Lee have authorised a trilogy about the late martial arts star, which will focus on providing fans with an authoritative narrative of his life, reports contactmusic.com.
Lee's brother and sister hope the new movies will clear up mistakes prevalent in other biographical accounts, as Robert announced the news at a ceremony in China on Monday to mark the 36th anniversary of Lee's death in 1973.
"We've read many books and seen many movies about Bruce Lee, but there are many inaccuracies in them," he said.
The first film will focus on Lee's teenage years, according to the film's producer Manfred Wong.
"There will be Kung Fu, but more importantly, we want to portray the real Bruce Lee. What is the real Bruce Lee like? He was very humorous. He was very obedient to his parents. He was very kind to his family," Wong said.

Model-turned-actress Megan Fox has declined to be the Bond girl in a forthcoming 007 movie in which she would have starred opposite Daniel Craig as one of his conquests.
The 23-year-old was reportedly lined up by producers, but she turned down the offer as she didn't believe the role would further her career, reported contactmusic.com.
"Megan might be interested in a villainous role if it was a central part of the movie but she is not interested in being just your usual type of Bond girl," said a source.
"She did consider an approach, but she won't be doing James Bond while she's so busy with other projects. She might consider it again in a few years' time," added the source.

he interviewer at the Services Selection Board (SSB) asked him why he wanted to join the Army? And pat came the reply: "I want to win the Param Vir Chakra."
True to his words, Lieutenant Manoj Kumar Pandey did win the country's highest gallantry honour but posthumously.on of a small-time businessman, the Lucknow hero laid down his life while capturing Jubar Top on Khalubar Hills in the Batalik Sector during Operation Vijay in 1999. Since then, the saga of Lt Pandey has left many teary-eyed and many reminisce with nostalgia.
A brilliant student and a dedicated son, the braveheart, nurtured the aspiration of being a soldier right through his days in Sainik School, Lucknow. "He was a top boxer and never came second in academics. Even though he left home at a young age, he always missed his mother. He used to write letters and in fact had written a couple of poems on his mother," said his father Gopi Chand Pandey.
"For us, Manoj was everything and it feels like his mother and me too have passed away with his death," adds Gopi Chand in a heavy voice.
"He used to live for his mission and used to do a lot of homework before every task. He knew he couldn't risk the life of his subordinates by going for a blind attack," said Pawan Mishra, one of the closest friends of Lt Pandey.
Commissioned into 1/11 Gurkha Rifles, Lt Manoj was directed to capture Jubar Top on Khalubar Hills in the Batalik Sector, and the martyr, decided to move with his platoon right in the middle of the night to climb the steep hills for the victorious mission.
Though the path was extremely difficult, Manoj, using his presence of mind, decided to move along with his men as he knew the area was unguarded by Pakistan.
"Enemy soldiers noticed when the platoon was just few metres away from their target. Manoj had anticipated this, and before the Pakistani soldiers could set their rifles on our troops, he moved the platoon to an advantageous location and began his final assault. Soon, the Pakistani soldiers resorted to heavy firing and Manoj was hit in the leg and shoulder, but he kept advancing," said his father.
For a brief while, the rivals managed to stall the Indian attack, but Manoj's team was beyond their control. Knowing that they were only metres away from their final objective, Manoj decided to go for a final hand-to-hand assault and led the charge.
"Even though the bullets were zooming past Manoj, he managed to reach the first bunker and killed two Pakistanis. Soon, the Gurkha soldiers took over the Pakistanis, and Manoj, kept clearing bunker after bunker.
Even though he was bleeding profusely, nothing could stop him," recalled school friend Pawan, to whom Manoj used to write regularly, narrating the battleground incidents.
Just before the lieutenant reached the final bunker, a bullet pierced his forehead. But before he collapsed, he shouted "na chhodnu" (don't leave them) ordering his men not to spare a single Pakistani.
The full frontal attack launched by Lt Pandey finally led the Gurkhas to Jubar Top one of the most vital points in the entire Kargil battle.
In the last letter, which Manoj wrote to Pawan he said, "I really don't know what will happen the next moment, but I can assure you and all my countrymen that we would certainly push out the intruders at whatever cost we have to pay, may be our lives."
The letter dated June 19, 1999 reached Pawan on June 22 and before the friend could reply, the soldier had already put on his boots for the battle.Manoj died fighting the enemy on the intervening night of July 2 and 3.
And the words of his mother, truly sums up the heroic life of the soldier: "more than us, he was the son of his motherland. He was born with a special purpose."
Indeed, he was.
Pillar of strength
The ageing parents of the lieutenant feel the country has forgotten its war heroes. "These were young boys in their twenties and thirties. But not for a single moment they feared anything. Their country meant more to them than anything else. It feels bad that the same country has forgotten them.
"It doesn't affect us. Manoj never died, we are living by his name," said his father.
Martyr's diary
Manoj used to maintain a personal dairy, where he penned down everything he learnt. On several instances, he poured his heart out. The poetry he wrote in the memory of his doting mother read: "she is the star which shines brightly in the darkness, some one who will always give and bless."
Just below the poem, are the four lines written in bold letters, which shows the metal, out of which Lt Manoj Kumar Pandey's Param Vir Chakra was carved: "If death strikes before I prove my blood, I promise (swear), I will kill death."
LeT operative Mufti Obedullah, who was nabbed in Bangladesh last week, in a tell-all
Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operative Mufti Obedullah, who was arrested last week, has opened a can of worms for Dawood Ibrahim and his D-gang.
The Mumbai police have learnt that Dawood supports Pakistan-based terror outfits so that he can continue to seek refuge in Karachi.
"Dawood has to prove his loyalty to his masters in Pakistan. Thus, he supports terror outfits like LeT, Harkat-Ul-Jehadi-Islami and Jaish-e-Mohammed," said a senior police officer.
Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Rakesh Maria said his team was investigating D-gang's terror-links in Mumbai and Bangladesh.
The police have now established Dawood's role in supplying fake currencies to terrorists from Bangladesh.
Around 150 D-gang members from Mumbai are in Bangladesh. The D-gang gets its supply of arms from Bangladesh, revealed a source.
Preliminary investigations have revealed that Obedullah worked for Dawood and was holed up in Bangladesh
since 1993.
The Bangladesh authorities arrested Obedullah after Dawood's associate Dawood Merchant a key accused in Gulshan Kumar's murder disclosed his whereabouts to local intelligence officials.
Merchant, who was arrested in June for his connections in counterfeit notes, was interrogated by Indian agencies for the past few weeks.
Merchant's phone records indicate he was in touch
with Dawood.
15 And Counting
Since the 1993 blasts, the Mumbai police have sent 15 requests, so far, for extradition of the D-gang.
The request is forwarded to the Interpol via the CBI. Red corner alerts collect information about gangsters and track them down.
This process has failed to nab Dawood because he has more than a dozen passports with different aliases.
