South Korean pop singer/actor Rain has been offered the leading role in Warner Brothers' remake of Bruce Lee's 1973 martial arts classic Enter the Dragon. Warner Brothers' offer to Rain was confirmed by J Tune Entertainment, Rain's agency, on Thursday August 6. However, J Tune Entertainment also stated that Rain has not made a final decision and refused to discuss any details. Rain, who stars in the Wachowski Brothers' Ninja Assassin, scheduled for release this November, is currently preparing for his next Asian concert tour later this year. Warner Brothers' remake of Enter the Dragon will be written and directed by Kurt Sutter, executive producer of FX's The Shield, and produced by John Wells, Fred Weintraub and Paul Heller. As reported by Variety, the remake will be a noir-style, “contemporized drama about a lone FBI agent who pursues a rogue Shaolin monk into the bloody world of underground martial arts fight clubs. The original film starred Lee as a martial artist who's drafted by law enforcement to participate in a martial arts tournament and infiltrate a drug smuggling operation run from the host's heavily guarded island. --Michael Lom

Nice! Rain is already world famous so I guess this is not surprising.
