Amazon has snatched up another beloved story to tell on the small screen with news from Deadline that the streaming service is getting to work on adapting Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the book from Wang Dulu, and the fourth tale to the Crane Iron book series. The story gained worldwide attention in 2000 when director Ang Lee adapted it, winning four Oscars and being nominated for Best Picture.
The book was published between 1941 and 1942 and follows two warriors, Shu Lien, and Mu Bai, tasked with recovering a legendary sword called Green Destiny after a thief steals it. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century Imperial China, Lee’s wuxia film gained iconic status for its incredible wirework in its set pieces, which will be reapplied for Amazon’s iteration.
