More “Karate Kid” remake rumours hit the net
Speaking to Monkey Peaches, Han Sanping, president of China Film, mentioned that he’s involved in the remake of “The Karate Kid” that Will Smith’s shingle is producing.
According to Sanping, the new film will be titled “The Kung Fu Kid” and could possibly feature Jackie Chan as Mr Myigai. Um, what? (is this guy fucking with us??!). And if Chan’s not available? Stephen Chow (“Kung Fu Hustle”) will doing his best Pat Morita impersonation down a lens.
Pinch my left one til it bleeds. Please.
A couple of months ago rumours surfaced that Jaden Smith, Will’s son, might play the new martial-arts training tyke in the movie. Smith’s rep’s denied the claims pretty quickly. So why is this chap claiming the youngster is indeed still in the mix? He’d know, right? Or does he?
But not just that, Sanping tells the site that Jaden’s pop, The Fresh Prince himself, has already agreed to play the villain in the movie. Huh? Martin Kove must be spitting chips!
Sanping – who sounds like he could be full of vocal farts – also has a film in the works called “Tai Chi Tiger” that Keanu Reeves will produce and act in.
