It's going to be the first movie Netflix makes and is made available for their subscribers simultaneously with the cinema release, which is going to be on IMAX theaters only. In other words HD webrips will be available day 1.
In a first deal of its kind, Netflix and the Weinstein Company said Monday that they planned to release next year’s sequel to the movie “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” simultaneously across the globe on Netflix and a select number of Imax theaters.
The film, a follow-up to Ang Lee’s Academy Award-winning martial arts drama, is the first major motion picture to make its debut on the streaming service and in movie theaters at the same time. It will be available on Aug. 28 at no additional fee to Netflix subscribers and is the first of several films that Netflix is backing that will follow this new model for release. Only Imax is involved; other theater chains will not screen the film.
Budget:
Quote:
The film, called “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Green Legend,” is a production of the independent Weinstein Company, not a major movie studio, and has a relatively modest budget. “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” was very much an art house film. Made for about $23.5 million in 2000, after adjusting for inflation, it took audiences — in Mandarin, with English subtitles — on a martial arts romp. The budget for the sequel, “The Green Legend,” is a multiple of that for the 2000 film, according to one person familiar with the financing.
Plot:

In the sequel, Michelle Yeoh reprises her role as the warrior Yu Shu Lien but Mr. Lee does not return. The Weinstein Company has instead given the directing reins to Woo-ping Yuen, a well-known director in China. “The Green Legend,” set 20 years after the events of the first movie, follows four martial arts heroes trying to protect the Green Destiny sword.
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"
To be honest the first movie didn't do it much for me. Now "Hero" on the other hand, left a mark on me.
Yep, agreed.

Yeah, maybe Hero was more pretentious, which generally is a bad thing for me, but the story was fantastic, and too damn epic and well written (IMO). Plus I really loved the characters.
