Dragon Warrior is a CGI film on Bruce Lee, the martial arts legend. Bruce Lee is to be "resurrected" by CGI to star in Dragon Warrior, the first time a dead actor will be re-created in a major movie role, according to U.S. trade magazine Variety.

The $50m film is being financed by South Korean film company ShinCine Communications (partially backed by Samsung according to Cinescape), which acquired the rights to Lee's likeness from his estate. The film company, headed by Chul Shin, is said to have been working on the project since 1997. Lee's widow, Linda Lee Cadwell, and his daughter, Shannon Lee, have agreed to the movie.^{[citation needed]}
