Baz Luhrmann could be going from the Roaring '20s to 19th century China.

The Australian filmmaker behind The Great Gatsby is in talks to direct Kung Fu, Legendary Pictures' big-screen adaptation of the 1970s martial arts Western television show. It is unclear how far along the talks are. Legendary had no comment, but the company is beginning to ramp up its Chinese-centric projects again (Yimou Zhang is in talks to revive the company's adventure movie The Great Wall) and Kung Fu has Chinese roots.

If a deal is made, Luhrmann would first do a rewrite on the script before proceeding. (The current script is by Black Swan scribe John McLaughlin.)

Though Australia and Great Gatsby were both great-looking but average movies for me, Moulin Rouge and Romeo + Juliet are two of my favorite films, so I'll watch anything Luhrmann makes. If nothing else, he'd film the Asian landscapes beautifully. I never cared much for the original TV show, so I'm all for remaking it and changing it up.

doubtful he'd do that with the music in this one. This would be closer to Australia than Gatsby.
