Post Jackie Chan up for Karate Kid remake
Kung Fu movie legend Jackie Chan is being lined up for a role in a remake of the hit 1984 film The Karate Kid, entertainment industry press reported on Wednesday.

Daily Variety reported that Hong Kong star Chan, 54, was in final negotiations for the part of the elderly guru who teaches karate to a young boy, played by Jaden Smith, the son of Hollywood icon Will Smith.

The original Karate Kid starred Ralph Macchio as a youngster who learns to defend himself from bullies by learning martial arts from an eccentric mentor, played by the late American-Japanese actor Pat Morita.

Morita, who earned a best supporting actor Oscar nomination for his performance Mr Miyagi, died in 2005 aged 73.

The film spawned two sequels starring Macchio and Morita, as well as a fourth instalment in 1994 The Next Karate Kid, starring future best actress Oscar-winner Hilary Swank.

Is it a remake or a sequel?? If they try and "remake" it... Im not sure I could watch.. It would be like getting 5 new Breakfast Clubbers...

Sequel? 100% for seeing and sussing but... remake? Nah... May have to pass....

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Some movies should just be left alone. It says "remake" so I guess you and me wont be going Zep :D

Im a movieaholic....I love my movies... I own alot of movies (inc all 4 Karate Kid).. but I dont understand hollywoods need to REMAKE classics.. Why not remake the crap movies and improve on them... instead of taking a perfectly good movie.. that was a classic and is still to this day quoted all over the place... and "redo" it.. *shakes head* baffles me...
