Ang Lee will direct his son Mason Lee in a new biopic about Bruce Lee, who was previously portrayed by Jason Scott Lee in Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. Mason has reportedly been training for the last three years in preparation for the role. Bruce Lee’s daughter, Shannon Lee, has joined the project as a producer.

A new Marlene Dietrich biopic is in the works. Starring Diane Kruger, the five-part series will be based on the biography 'Meine Mutter Marlene' (My Mother Marlene), written by Dietrich’s daughter Maria Riva. Dietrich's life was previously portrayed in the 2000 biopic Marlene, starring Katja Flint.

After stints as a supporting or minor character in such biopics as “Act One”, “Sophia Loren: Her Own Story”, “Mae West” and “The Aviator”, Cary Grant is finally getting his own biopic. Starring Jason Isaacs, the four-part drama series “Archie” will debut on ITV’s streaming platform ITVX in the U.K. later this year.
