Not sure how this can improve upon a previous doc called Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey, but here's the trailer for a new doc called I Am Bruce Lee. Here's a link to the site & the write up from the site below. This new doc looks a little more pop culture influenced.


“I Am Bruce Lee†tells the amazing story of one of the most iconic human beings ever to enter the public consciousness. Voted as one of the most important people of the 20th century in Time Magazine’s Time 100, as well as one of the Greatest Pop Culture Icons by People Magazine, Bruce Lee continues to be honoured and remembered for his enduring legacy.

Bruce Lee’s often revolutionary and sometimes controversial thinking on a multitude of planes has become a source of inspiration and debate for a generation of philosophers, actors, filmmakers and athletes. The film is a compelling and visually stunning uncovering of Bruce’s life, his enormous impact, and his ever-expanding legacy in the world of martial arts, entertainment, and beyond—despite his tragic and sudden death at the age of 32.

‘I Am Bruce Lee’ features interviews with people who knew Bruce intimately, along with a broad array of international icons from the entertainment and athletic fields – people whose lives, careers and belief systems have been forever altered by the legend who UFC President Dana White calls the “Father of Mixed Martial Arts.†Interviews include basketball superstar Kobe Bryant, acclaimed actors Mickey Rourke and Ed O’Neill, world boxing champions Manny Pacquiao and Ray ‘Boom Boom’ Mancini, UFC’s Dana White and world champion Jon Jones, MMA fighters Cung Le and Stephan Bonnar, as well as actress and MMA fighter Gina Carano.  Other interviews featured in the film include celebrated writer/director Reginald Hudlin, pop music superstar Taboo, pro skateboarder Paul Rodriguez, Bruce Lee’s daughter Shannon Lee and his wife Linda Lee Cadwell, as well as a host of Bruce’s friends and associates including legendary martial artists Dan Inosanto, Bob Wall and Gene LeBell, in combination with rarely seen archival footage, classic photos, and cutting edge visuals and graphics. The film goes more deeply into the story of this legendary master than ever before.
 
I'm all for a new Bruce Lee documentary but I can't stand most of these so called international icons, entertainers, or athletes. I'd rather see or hear from people who actually interacted with Lee instead of watching a bunch of inflated egos kick/punch/blow smoke for the camera, but it would seem that even they (family & friends) may have grown tired of resurrecting his spirit for the sake of earning a few dollars more.

Let that man rest - I'll pass.
 
I swear, Bruce Lee better get some love up in this piece because if someone like frickin' French Montana , ace hood, or tity boi can get multiple pages over in music & Bruce Lee can't get multiple pages...It'll be a sad statement of NT...

That's one way to look at it.
The other would be to see this as a way to continue his legacy for the new generation, giving them a change to learn about the greatest martial artist of all time. 

I'll be watching.
 
Sucks that I probably won't see any new footage or learn anything new about him from this movie.
