William Earl administrator Michelle Yeoh cracked history open when she won an Oscar for “Everything Everywhere All at Once” last March, but she’s not sitting back to bask in the glow. “I exercise every day,” she says. “I do my whole routine of being in shape and knowing my moves.
When you are in shape and ready to strike, it’s not difficult.” Yeoh is describing her process for a harrowing fight scene in her new series “The Brothers Sun,” out Jan. 4 on Netflix. But as a martial arts icon who has made her mark on some of the most influential action movies of all time — “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,” “Supercop,” “Yes, Madam” — it’s no surprise she’s prepared for all comers.
Yeoh has kept moving since her Oscar win — appearing in “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts,” “A Haunting in Venice” and Disney+’s “American Born Chinese” in 2023 alone. Yet “Brothers Sun” is the project that will speak most directly to fans of “Everything Everywhere.” In the series, ruthless Taipei gangster Charles Sun (Justin Chien) travels to L.A. to protect his mother, Eileen (Yeoh), who fled the triad with her younger son, Bruce (Sam Song Li), an average 20-something clueless to the family business.
Along with complex and inventive fight scenes, the series is buoyed by its humor — Bruce gets a fish-out-of-water introduction to the world of organized crime — and its heart, as the Suns fend for each other despite their clashing lifestyles. Eileen is a caring mother who also harbors ambitions of once again ruling the underworld. Yeoh says she created the multidimensional matriarch by making an in-character diary and collaborating closely with the show’s creators, Brad Falchuk and Byron Wu.

William Earl administrator SPOILER ALERT: This article discusses plot twists in the new movie “I.S.S.“ “I.S.S.” is a thriller set in outer space, but the creative team was filled with pioneers in their own right. “Blackfish” director Gabriela Cowperthwaite helmed the project, with Oscar winner Ariana DeBose suiting up for the lead role — both creatives playing in a new genre for the first time. The result is a fleet, pulpy film in which three American and three Russian astronauts are living and working together on an international space station.
William Earl administrator Growing up in an Indigenous Aboriginal family in Australia, nothing was scarier to horror director Jon Bell than the government. He recalls the “Stolen Generations,” a tragedy that Americans likely know little about. “The government would take light-skinned kids — or just any kids they could get their hands on — and rehouse them,” he said.

However, his life gets turned upside down upon the arrival of his long-estranged brother, Charles (Justin Chien), a cutthroat assassin who enlists the help of their mother, Mama Sun (Michelle Yeoh), to take down a dangerous crime syndicate. Throughout the eight-episode series, co-created by Byron Wu and Brad Falchuk, Bruce has to contend with learning that his family, unbeknownst to him, are major players in one of the most lucrative and dangerous gangster businesses in Taiwan.
Michaela Zee SPOILER ALERT:This story contains mild spoilers for “The Brothers Sun,” available to watch on Netflix now. On May 22, 1992, three men brutally stabbed Japanese filmmaker Juzo Itami outside his Tokyo home, just days after the release of his satire “Minbo no Onna,” or “Mob Woman.” The director of “Tampopo” and “A Taxing Woman” suffered slash wounds across the face, neck and shoulder, but ultimately survived. Police suspected the attack may have been the yakuza’s retaliation for Itami’s “Mob Woman,” which portrays Japanese gangsters as crude bullies who are outsmarted by lawyer Mahiru Inoue (played by Itami’s wife Nobuko Miyamoto).
