I was flipping through the channels last night and saw Karate Kid on. Its a classic in my mind so I tuned in and watched it. This morning I was wondering if anyone ever thought of remaking it. I googled it and found this.
BEIJING, Dec. 8 -- Hollywood star Will Smith met actor-filmmaker Stephen Chow Friday in Hong Kong, where he attended the Asian premiere of the sci-fi thriller "I am Legend," and invited him to produce, direct and star in the remake of the hit 1984 martial arts movie "The Karate Kid."
Reports say Smith selected Chow because he likes the innovative actions in Chow's "Kung Fu Hustle," as well as his latest film "CJ7," which Smith had seen a rough cut edition at Sony Pictures Classics.
Chow told the media, "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. But it depends on my schedule. As you know, next year I will work on two movies, 'Dragon Ball' and 'Journey to the West.'"
Will Smith hopes to shoot the movie in China, according to Agence France-Presse.
