"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" TV Series in Works
A TV version of 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' is in the works at Amazon Prime Video.
The series is based on the book of the same name by Wang Dulu, which is part of the so-called Crane Iron Pentalogy.
The official logline for the project states: 'Amidst stunning landscapes and spectacular action, 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' follows Shu Lien and Mu Bai, two star-crossed warriors, as they struggle between forbidden love and the pull of modernity — caught between preserving their way of life or embracing a future together.'
Jason Ning is writing and executive producing the adaptation, with Ron D. Moore serving as executive producer along with Maril Davis via Tall Ship Productions. Johnny Levin, Roy Lee of Vertigo Entertainment, and Hong Wang and Qin Wang of the Wang Dulu Estate also executive produce. Ying Lou is co-executive producing. Sony Pictures Television, where both Ning and Moore are under overall deals, will produce.
'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' was originally published between 1941 and 1942.
The other books in the series are: 'Crane Startles Kunlun,' Precious Sword, Golden Hairpin,' 'Sword Force, Pearl Shine,' and 'Iron Knight, Silver Vase.'
'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' has previously been adapted for the screen numerous times, perhaps most famously by Ang Lee for the 2000 film of the same name.
It proved to be a box office and critical smash, grabbing over $200 million at the global box office and earning 10 Academy Award nominations.
It was reported at the time Ning signed his overall deal in 2023 that he would begin working on a series version of the book. Ning's other credits include 'The Brothers Sun,' 'Mrs. Davis,' 'Lucifer,' and 'The Expanse.' He is repped by UTA, Gotham Group and Yorn Levine.
For Moore, this is the second big IP-driven series he is developing at Prime Video under his new overall deal with Sony.
It was reported in October 2024 that Moore had boarded the streamer's series take on the popular video game 'God of War' as showrunner.

Ireland Picks "Sanatorium" for Oscar Race
Yara Sameh The Irish Film and Television Academy has selected Ireland's official entry for the international feature film category of the next Academy Awards. 'Sanatorium,' the Irish-made, Ukrainian-language documentary, is set to represent the country at the 98th Oscars, following in the footsteps of last year's 'Kneecap,' which was shortlisted, and 2003's 'The Quiet Girl,' which became the first film submitted by Ireland to be nominated. The feature debut of Galway-born filmmaker Gar O'Rourke, 'Sanatorium' takes a vivid look at at Kuyalnik Sanatorium, a large 1970s building near Odessa in southern Ukraine, where a small group searches for love, healing and happiness and where mud treatments and Soviet-era therapies continue despite a war close by. The biggest attraction is the mysterious black mud, said to cure infertility, physical disabilities and various other ailments. The film had its world premiere at CPH:DOX in Copenhagen in their main international competition, DOX:AWARD, in late March. 'Sanatorium' is produced by Venom Films by IFTA-winning Ken Wardrop and Andrew Freedman ('His & Hers,' 'Making the Grade'), along with Samantha Corr. It was was co-produced by 2332 Films Ukraine and made with support from Screen Ireland, BBC Storyville, MetFilm Sales, France TV, and Creative Europe. The film was edited by John Murphy ('The Quiet Girl'), with Denys Melnyk ('Militantropos') as director of photography. Irish Distributor Eclipse Pictures will release the film in Irish Cinemas on September 5. The Oscar international feature shortlist will be announced on December 16 and the final five nominees will be announced on January 22. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated
