Bruce Lee thought that The Silent Flute , a script he wrote with screenwriter Stirling Silliphant and actor James Coburn in 1969, would become the film that made him an international star. But the project did not get off the ground and was abandoned.

Now Lee fans will finally get the chance to experience Lee’s metaphysical martial arts work courtesy of Hong Kong-born producer Jason Kothari, who has bought the rights to the script and is turning it into a six-hour series.
