Lee is reportedly not involved in the project.<\/p>\n<p>Fusco&#8217;s screenplay is reportedly based on Silver Vase, Iron Knight, the fifth novel in Chinese writer&#8217;s Wang Du Lu&#8217;s wuxia romance <em>Crane-Iron<\/em> Pentalogy. Lee&#8217;s <strong>Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon<\/strong> was based on the fourth novel in the series, though the film did appropriate some plot points from earlier the three earlier novels in the series.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Crane-Iron<\/em> books have never been translated into English, but Silver Vase, Iron Knoight focuses on Yu Shu Lien, the character played by Michelle Yeoh in <strong>Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon<\/strong>.

It has a Knights Errant quality. There is an alternate universe in the books, a martial forest that exists alongside the real world, full of wandering sword fighters, medicine men, defrocked priests, poets, sorcerers and Shaolin renegades. It\u2019s so vast and rich, and I found characters from the second and third books in the series to create a most interesting stew while being as true to the source material as I could be.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Casting should get underway once Yu finalizes his deal with the Weinsteins.
