The story follows Ah Sahm, a martial arts prodigy who immigrates from China to San Francisco under mysterious circumstances and becomes a hatchet man for one of Chinatown\u2019s most powerful organized crime families.<\/p>\n<p><em>Warrior<\/em> was created by Jonathan Tropper (<em>Banshee<\/em>), who will executive produce under Tropper Ink Productions. Justin Lin and Danielle Woodrow will executive produce on behalf of Perfect Storm Entertainment, and Shannon Lee will executive produce for Bruce Lee Entertainment. Production kicks off this fall in Cape Town, South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Warrior<\/em> follows in the spirit of the tradition of adrenalized Cinemax dramas that we established with <em>Strike Back<\/em> and <em>Banshee<\/em>,\u201d said Kary Antholis, the president of HBO miniseries and Cinemax programming. \u201cWe are brimming with excitement for this unique martial arts series combining Bruce Lee\u2019s inspired conception with the immense storytelling talents of Jonathan Tropper and Justin Lin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a show that proudly bears the imprimatur of Bruce Lee, it\u2019s our intention to deliver not only explosive martial arts action\u2014which we will\u2014but also a powerful and complex immigration drama that is as relevant today as it was in the 1870s,\u201d added Tropper.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always admired Bruce Lee for his trailblazing efforts opening doors for Asians in entertainment and beyond,\u201d said Lin. \u201cSo I was intrigued when Danielle told me about the urban legend of his never-produced idea for a TV show and suggested we bring it to life. Then, when Shannon shared with us her father\u2019s writings\u2014rich with Lee\u2019s unique philosophies on life, and through a point of view rarely depicted on screen\u2014Danielle and I knew that &#8216;perfect storm&#8217; had to make it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPartnering with Cinemax has led to a wonderful collaboration with Jonathan Tropper, who has created a fantastic series inspired by Lee\u2019s writings. We are all honored to continue what he started.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cinemax has gone straight to series with the ten-episode drama Warrior, inspired by an idea from martial arts legend Bruce Lee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[1024,1911],"class_list":["post-7849","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-cinemax","tag-warrior","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
