"Kung Fu Kid"

And in some lesser news (or more so... depending of your preferences), "The Karate Kid" is being remade. Why? Because Hollywood is apparently running out of ideas. If you want to be a screenwriter and need fresh material, go down to Hollywood Blvd. one day and just talk to the crazies. One is bound to help you out with some fresh material.

Anyways, to make this film sound worse, Mr. Miyagi (but now named Mr. Han) is being played by Jackie Chan. And his student? Jaden Smith. Yes, as in Will and Jada's kid from the atrocity "The Day the Earth Stood Still". Yuck. And I wont even go into what I think about his character's name being "Dre".

And if you'd like a cherry on top of that, Harald Zwart, director of the virtually ignored "The Pink Panther 2" will helm the project. Any silver lining? Taraji P. Henson, academy award nominee in last years "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" has been cast.

The film, titled "Kung Fu Kid", has already started filming, and will be out June 11th, 2010.
