In talks to play Mr Myiagi
Martial arts magnate Stephen Chow (“Kung Fu Hustle”) has confirmed online rumours that he’s in talks to play wise and wrinkly warrior Mr Myiagi in a ‘’Karate Kid’’ remake.
Chow, says Asian Popcorn, would also direct and produce the film (rumoured to be titled “The Kung Fu Kid”).
“I’m very fond of ‘The Karate Kid’ and would love to join in the remake project, no matter as a producer, director or actor”, says Chow. “But it depends on my schedule. As you know, next year I will work on two movies, ‘Dragon Ball’ and ‘Journey to the West.'”
Actor Will Smith is shepherding the project, with the Fresh Prince hoping to shoot the film in China.
