rumors about Jackie playing Mr. Miyagi in a Karate Kid remake? And Will Smith's son(who I think is only 11)will be playing The Karate Kid? I don't know if Jackie is right for this role if it's true, I think Sho Kosugi or Sonny Chiba would be better in the role. Whichever way it goes in the way of casting, it will be interesting to see how this remake turns out......
Sorry for the off-topic post... but WOW.. proof you still post here...??
Wha's crackin' dunny...?

its only a movie.
Well, first of all Miyagi was Okinawin, according to the movie. And secondly, making Daniel-san a black kid is a slap in the face to Italian-Americans cuz Ralph Macchio played Daniel LaRusso...Quote:

This is a dumb idea anyway. Haven't they milked the karate kid thing enough? I mean they had 3 or them. Then they did the next karate kid with a girl. Plus the cartoons from back in the day, the video games. Enough is enough.
Karate kid will always be Daniel-san, Miyagi, hot ass young Elizabeth Shue, John Creese and Johnny Lawrence of the Cobra Kais
more info on this pluse 2 other films he is thinking of
Han Sanping, president of China Film, the biggest state-run movie maker of China is very excited about what he would like do with some Hollywood studios. During a speech he made last night at Peking University, he mentioned some projects he was pushing during the recent trip to the States.
A remake of The Karate Kid wtih Will Smith, Will's son Jaden and Jackie Chan or Stephan Chow: In the remake, might be titled The Kung Fu Kid, Jaden Smith will play the kid, Jackie Chan (or Stephen Chow?) will play his mentor (Pat Morita's role), and Will Smith will play the main villain.
Tai Chi Tiger (literal title) with Chen Hu and Keanu Reeves: The plot is unknown but it will be the acting debut of Tiger Hu Chen (as a martial-art coordinator working for Yuen Wo-Ping). Keanu Reeves, who learned martial-art from him for his role in The Matrix trilogy will produces the project and will also play a supporting role in it.
..
on a side note ...........KUNG FU HUSTLE Sequel Is Done
^^ Yay! Can't wait for Kung-Fu 2!
As for Karate Kid, all I will say is that Smith's kid seems like a pretty decent actor. Unlike almost every other child actor in a Hollywood film, he didn't come across (in The Pursuit Of Happyness) as an obnoxious little shit.

Jackie Chan to Play Mr. Miyagi Role in ‘Karate Kid’ Remake
Yeah, this is necessary...

Why Sony Pictures feels the need to remake The Karate Kid is beyond me. Why anyone felt Jaden Smith was the one to star in it leaves me even more baffled after watching him in The Day the Earth Stood Still. Now that Jackie Chan has signed on to star in the Mr. Miyagi role I am pretty sure it can’t get much worse.
Entertainment Weekly breaks the news saying Chan will take on Pat Morita’s Mr. Miyagi role in the Harald Zwart (The Pink Panther 2) directed feature, which will shoot entirely in China. The story is expected to basically change for Jaden’s age (10) but will still center on a bullied youth who learns to stand up for himself with the help of an eccentric mentor. Chris Murphy penned the script, but I have no idea who he is.
Oh, and for those that don’t know Jaden Smith is the son of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith.

...I actually think this will be good for Jackie, but a black kid to play Daniel? what the fuck? thats worse than the new chun-li in the new street fighter film.
they can remake shit all they want.
That movie cannot be recreated.
The 80's california setting, the music, the New Jersey Italian kid goin out west fallin in love with the hot blonde.
Oddly enough the original part was Daniel Weber, but after they cast Ralph Macchio, they changed it to Daniel LaRusso.
Plus you can't beat Pat Morita playing Miyagi.
This is like trying to remake Dumb and dumber without Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels
^all of what you said... + a black kid playing Daniel Larusso...
this is him now...
http://www.cinefox.com.ar/wp-content...ph-macchio.jpg
he's gotta be in his 40's by now
hahaha jackie chan would be funny tryna catch flies wiv his chopsticks,lol
OHH Man what a bunch of shit! I know it's happened a million times, but I really hate when actors that are NOT Japanese play a Japanese person in a movie! Or people play Chinese who are not Chinese, etc!
But why would you need to remake this movie??? I know why. Hollywood has no fresh ideas! Every other movie these days is a damn remake!
WTF?
jackie chan is a good idea imo. who better to teach the kid martial arts than the most well-known living martial artist alive.
however, i watched the day the earth stood still and i wanted that kid to eat shit and die. such a pain in the ass. i'm all for gender equality etc etc, but if you're going to remake a film about a white kid, use a white kid for christ sakes
i wouldnt want to see daniel craig as STEEL
Nobody can replace Pat Morita, nobody
oh yea i forgot Miyagi was Japanese...lmao..hence the KARATE part...eloels.
^^yeah so did i. which is gay because i made a point right after about keeping the original races haha.
hahaha they need this man
Kung Fu Master Bruce :D

The contradiction of logic in the parts in bold make everything you posted prior, and afterward, irrelevant. Get over your own ignorance before trying to type an intelligent(?) post.:thumbdwn:Quote:

Is Okinawa not a Japanese Island? I seem to remember learning that it was in Japanese class.Quote:

Facial hair fail.
Would you honestly trust anyone with a tash like that to teach your kid Karate, Kung Fu or anything for that matter!
