A new anime project based on the late martial artist Bruce Lee has been announced, with speculation that there could be an NFT angle to it.


The new project, called “House of Lee,” is expected to be released in 2024. It is endorsed by Bruce Lee’s daughter, Shannon Lee, and the Bruce Lee Estate.


Onlookers have noticed that the animation studio is Shockunit from China, known for its NFT-based projects, while the animation artist is Emily Yang, a successful NFT animator, according to The A.V. Club.


The producer, which is a company called Shibuya, also runs a platform for crowdfunding projects through NFT sales. In April, it minted an NFT collection called “House of Lee: Genesis” and sold 49,000 NFTs to raise over $700,000.


The animation aims to promote the collection, which has seen prices fall from $15 to around $6–$10, the report added.


The Enter the Dragon teaser trailer shows Bruce Lee animated in an old-school anime style, doing martial arts and turning into a dragon.


Cointelegraph reached out to Shannon at the Bruce Lee Family Company for further details but did not receive a response by publication. Grimes makes it big with NFTs
