Watch the Trailer for the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Netflix Sequel

High-flying martial arts! A mystical sword! A “Bad Moon Rising” cover rendered by someone who sounds like the throat-singing, auto-tuned love child of Nick Cave and Tom Waits! You know what that means—it’s the long-awaited trailer for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny. This is the straight-to-streaming sequel for the 2001 classic directed by Ang Lee, and it premieres on Feb. 26—both on Netflix and certain IMAX theaters. Michelle Yeoh is the only returning cast members, and Woo-Ping Yuen (Drunken Master, plus fight choreography for the Matrix and Kill Bill movies) directs. Here’s the synopsis:

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny tells an epic story of lost love, young love, a legendary sword and one last opportunity at redemption, set against breathtaking action in an epic martial arts battle between good and evil that will decide the fate of the Martial World.

Directed by the renowned martial arts choreographer (The Matrix trilogy and Kill Bill 1 & 2) and director (Tai Chi Master) Yuen Wo-Ping, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny stars Michelle Yeoh (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, The Lady) as Yu Shu-Lien and Donnie Yen (Ip Man 1 & 2, Monkey King 3D) as Silent Wolf.

Based on the acclaimed novel, Iron Knight, Silver Vase, by Wang Dulu (book 5 in the Crane-Iron Pentalogy) and written by John Fusco (Marco Polo), the new film is produced by Harvey Weinstein (Academy Award winner – The King’s Speech, The Artist) and Peter Berg (Emmy Award winner – Friday Night Lights; Lone Survivor, Hancock) and Sarah Aubrey (Friday Night Lights; Lone Survivor, Hancock) and executive produced by Morten Tyldum (Headhunters, The Imitation Game), Ralph Winter (X-Men franchise), Anthony Wong and Bey Logan (The Medallion).
