Hong Kong-born entrepreneur and film producer Jason Kothari has acquired all rights to The Silent Flute, the spiritual martial arts epic co-written by legend Bruce Lee in 1970, and is adapting the project into a special limited series. The Silent Flute film script was a five-year collaboration between Lee and his friends and martial arts students, Oscar-winning writer Stirling Silliphant and Oscar-winning actor James Coburn, that encapsulated Lee’s vision for the true essence of martial arts and the meaning of life. It was his greatest and boldest creative passion project that remained unfinished since his unfortunate passing in 1973 and is now being revived by Kothari.

The Silent Flute’s story is set in a dystopian future after mankind has suffered from pandemics, fires and civil wars, where all weapons and combat arts are banned. It follows a raw fighter who overcomes grave obstacles and loss to reach enlightenment and become the best fighter in the world.

“It is both a privilege and responsibility to realize Bruce Lee’s greatest passion project, The Silent Flute. Despite it having been untouched for half a century, the story conveys groundbreaking themes for today, and my ambition is to do justice to the global icon’s powerful and inspiring cinematic vision. Having closely studied his life and career, I am committed to bringing together the best talent in the world to make The Silent Flute for millions of Lee’s fans and honor him,” Kothari said.
