Zoolander and My Big Fat Greek Wedding won’t be the only films from the early aughts getting a sequel early next year. The Weinstein Company recently went ahead with production on Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny, the sequel to Ang Lee‘s Oscar-winning 2000 film, albeit with no involvement from the director. Instead, it comes from Yuen Woo-ping, the accomplished choreographer behind The Matrix, and numerous Jackie Chan films.
The first trailer has now landed today, which comes from Netflix, where it’ll get a day-and-date release in early February, along with — on the other side of a spectrum — an IMAX run. As the synopsis reads, “The fight to keep a great warrior’s sword from an evil warlord will change them in ways they never imagined.”
The first trailer has the high-flying stunts fans of the first film will recognize, but it remains to be seen if it’ll have the polish and personality that Lee brought to the original. Starring Donnie Yen, Michelle Yeoh, Harry Shum, Jr., Jason Scott Lee, Roger Yuan, Eugenia Yuan, JuJu Chan, Chris Pang, Shuya Chang and Natasha Liu Bordizzo, check out the first preview below.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny will be released on February 26th on Netflix and in IMAX theaters.
