Written by John Fusco (The Forbidden Kingdom), the movie is set 20 years after the events of Crouching Tiger and revolves around four heroes of the martial arts world - Silent Wolf, Yu Shu-lien, Tie-Fang and Snow Vase - who must use their courage and skills to keep the legendary sword Green Destiny from the hands of the villainous Hades Dai.

Sounds pretty exciting, right? So what more can we expect from this new movie, Iron Knight, Silver Vase? Well, writer John Fusco recently shared some more details on the film.

"This introduces a new generation of star-crossed lovers, and a new series of antagonists in a battle of good and evil. It has a Knights Errant quality," he said, according to SlashFilm. "There is an alternate universe in the books, a martial forest that exists alongside the real world, full of wandering sword fightersm medicine men, defrocked priests, poets, sorcerers and Shaolin renegades. It's so vast and rich, and I found characters from the second and third books in the series to create a most interesting stew while being as true to the source material as I could be."
