karate kid remake

[jackjack]

from ign.com

September 27, 2007 - IGN has been informed by a reliable source that Sony Pictures is developing a remake of The Karate Kid that will be produced by Will Smith's Overbook Entertainment and Jerry Weintraub. Weintraub also produced the 1984 film, starring Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita, and its three sequels.

We were also advised that Will Smith's son Jaden, 9, is attached to star in the remake. Jaden Christopher Syre Smith starred opposite his dad in last year's The Pursuit of Happyness (http://movies.ign.com/objects/845/845871.html), which was also released by Sony. We understand that this new Karate Kid is currently out to writers.

IGN didn't hear back from Weintraub's office or Smith's reps by time of publish, so until there's official confirmation consider this a rumor.

Wow, that's a surprise. Who would play Mr. Miyagi? Chow Yun Fat?

And isn't Will Smith's kid a little young for the role? Daniel-son was in HS in the movie.

yeah, but i'd prefer shit original movies i don't feel compelled to watch, as opposed to remakes of movies i liked that shit all over the original.

i can't wait for that brad pitt bullitt remake! /not true

[SimpleSexy180]

haha oh gosh

as for karate kid, not only will this probably crap over original, but why is will smith trying to put his son in it?

movie industry is much like video game industry at the moment. Less creativity trying to make up for it with the eye candy.

American Graffiti is an awesome movie. Harrison Ford's chevy was awesome

No remake, BUT they did just announce the sequel is official. All the OG cast is back, and the plot revolves around their kids going on their own adventure.

I'm cool with that.

[tacotacotaco]

Hollywood is recycling and digging into foreign cinema for remakes.

the next new old idea will be to remake a movie that just came out, instead of an old one.

[kyoru]

uhhh....why on earth would they remake karate kid out of all the movies.

[jackjack]

hmmmm........ we might have to start a remake/sequel thread. i was just reading about mortal kombat (remake) and mad max 4 (no mel) :Ownedd:

i second that thread topic.

my friend's an exec at warner bro's and she said a sequel to Point Break is in the works... i dont understand how, because i'm pretty sure the guy dies after surfing that huge wave in the storm.. but maybe he doesnt die.................

like start production on the remake one month after the original comes out. not a sequel, but the same plot and everything.
