Very good question :)
I personally would like to see a new fresh face take on a role like that. Either a new up and coming actor who is proficient in the martial arts, or a great martial artists with acting talent who wants to break into that field.
As a former independent film actor, I know how hard it is for such people to break into the mainstream - and I think it's really cool when you find unexpected talent in someone you've never really heard of before.
Of course, the studio may want to go for name recognition to attract a guaranteed audience - if so I would think Jet Li or the actor who starred in Angh Bak (I think it was called :)

I would think Brandon would of been a good person to play the role, but he is no one with us. So i would have to pick Jet Li, because he is a very good martial arts and i believe he can do Bruce Lee proud
Oh yea to the guy above me, Jason Scott Lee aint Bruce Lee's cousin because i wrote a martial arts mag asking them that question and they told me they are not related

Oh no, there goes the classic. I don't understand the remake, but oh well. Bruce Lee is just so perfect in Enter The Dragon. I can't really picture anyone that is suitable to play that role. I just hope they don't mess it up with the remake.

Did Bruce do something to you or a family individuals member considering the fact which you look incredibly disenchanted approximately it? Who suggested that throughout the time of hassle-free terms competing in martial arts competitions proves your greatness? possibly he replaced into above them. we are in a position to all debate if he replaced right into a real martial artist or not, no count in case you adore him or hate him. yet why could martial artists including Chuck Norris, Mike Stone, Joe Lewis, Dan Inosanto, and diverse others grow to be his scholars? Testimonials from various respected martial artists and entertainers have shown his greatness. of direction Wong Jack guy could have a diverse tale. yet your rapid to have faith that merely considering the fact which you do in comparison to Bruce Lee. and that i guess you comprehend not the rest approximately Wong Jack guy. All i'm able to assert is, if he wasn't as actual a martial artist as he portrayed, he did a hell of a job fooling anybody and nonetheless have human beings speaking approximately him 30 years later.

Jet Li is only 5'4 bruce was 5'7 which is not a big deal, but jet will really have to work out to match bruce lees physique. It will be hard for anyone to obtain bruce lees incredibly ripped physique and also to duplicate his moves and incredible speed.Why do they insist on remaking classic movies and tv shows? they always turn out like crap!

No one can fill Bruce Lee's shoes. There's no reason for a remake, and it will at best turn out to be a pale imitation of the original, dependent upon flashy fx and explosions to make up for its lack of quality.

I'd consider watching it only if Donnie Yen gets to star.
