The creators of the Oscar-winning film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" have started pre-production for a prequel to the story.

Filming of the "The Green Destiny" will get underway this summer at locations in New Zealand and China.

Michelle Yeoh will be back to reprise her role as female warrior Yu Shen Lien.

Yuen Woo-ping is back to coordinate the action scenes.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is still the most successful Chinese-language film of all time after making over 200 million US dollars in its release in 2000.

The film was also awarded the Oscar for best foreign-language film the following year.

The prequel may have been quicker in coming if it weren't for a dispute over the film rights.
