London: Filming on the prequel to Oscar-winning martial arts film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon will start in July. Titled The Green Destiny, the movie will see actress Michelle Yeoh reprise her role as female warrior Yu Shu Lien, reported BBC online.

Pre-production is believed to have begun. Filming is due to start in Auckland, New Zealand, with two further weeks of shooting in China.

Yuen Woo-ping, who co-ordinated the action scenes in the original, will step behind the camera for the prequel.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, directed by Ang Lee, remains the most successful Chinese-language film of all time, making 127 million pounds on its release in 2000.

It won the best foreign language Oscar the following year, with three more awards in the technical categories.

Plans for a prequel were delayed by a row over the film rights to Wang Du Lu's novels, on which the film was based. The Green Destiny is based on the fifth book in Wang's series, Silver Vase, Iron Night.
