Sony is releasing another Karate Kid movie on May 30th, this time with Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan, who starred in the shitty remake that Will Smith made to make his untalented son happy.
But I digress. Today, they released the first trailer, and I think it was a waste of money.
After the success of Cobra Kai, they needed to go big or go home. This is the case where they should’ve gone home.
Macchio is better than this. Or maybe he isn’t.
It is too bad it is too late to wax Karate Kid Legends off.
Ralph Macchio is the original Karate Kid. Jackie Chan starred in the shitty remake that Will Smith made for his son. And now the two of them are teaming up to find the next Karate Kid.
Sony Pictures is doing a worldwide search for a Chinese or mixed-race Chinese 15 to 17-year-old who speaks perfect English to play the lead role along with the two actors. It would be helpful if he speaks some Mandarin and is skilled in some martial arts, gymnastics, dance, and/or movement. However, acting experience is not required. But you must be available between March and June to film the movie.
If this sounds like you, your son, or a boy you know in your life, then go to KarateKidCasting.com to apply.
Personally, I think it is fucked up that they didn’t wait until Cobra Kai aired its final season to announce this.
On Tuesday, there was a report that there was going to be a sequel to The Holiday, but Nancy Meyers, who wrote and directed the film, quickly denied it.
Yesterday, she went on Today and explained why it is not going to happen. “I’ve been asked to make a sequel a couple of times, you know. And I think about it. And I think it is good just the way it is. I don’t know how I won’t disappoint,” she said. “It was just a moment in time for all of them. And for me.”
So if you are disappointed by the news that there won’t be a sequel, you have to ask yourself, is it better not to have a sequel or have a sequel that never should’ve been made?
And that brings us to Rush Hour 4. Jackie Chan revealed today at the Red Sea International Film Festival in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, that he and Chris Tucker are in talks to make a fourth movie, according to Variety.
Before Reese Witherspoon was Legally Blonde, she would do anything to win an Election. However, she can win a sequel at Paramount+. The Hollywood Reporter says that the streaming service is in talks to make Tracy Flick Can’t Win, a sequel to the movie based on the book that came out this year.
I think if they had a vote to see if we wanted this movie, it would’ve been as popular as Kim Kardashian’s ex-husband was when he ran for President.
And finally, there is Wonder Woman 3. Yesterday, there was a report that James Gunn passed on making a third Wonder Woman film with Gal Gadot and Patty Jenkins, and today he addressed the rumors.
“So. As for the story yesterday in the Hollywood Reporter, some of it is true, some of it is half-true, some of it is not true, & some of it we haven’t decided yet whether it’s true or not,” he wrote. “Although this first month at DC has been fruitful, building the next ten years of story takes time & we’re still just beginning. Peter & I chose to helm DC Studios knowing we were coming into a fractious environment, both in the stories being told & in the audience itself & there would be an unavoidable transitional period as we moved into telling a cohesive story across film, TV, animation, and gaming. But, in the end, the drawbacks of that transitional period were dwarfed by the creative possibilities & the opportunity to build upon what has worked in DC so far & to help rectify what has not. But, in the end, the drawbacks of that transitional period were dwarfed by the creative possibilities & the opportunity to build upon what has worked in DC so far & to help rectify what has not. We know we are not going to make every single person happy every step of the way, but we can promise everything we do is done in the service of the STORY & in the service of the DC CHARACTERS we know you cherish and we have cherished our whole lives. As for more answers about the future of the DCU, I will sadly have to ask you to wait. We are giving these characters & the stories the time & attention they deserve & we ourselves still have a lot more questions to ask & answer.”
Let’s be honest. DC Studios needs to rework its strategy because its movies are not as good as Marvel’s pictures. They are too dark, both visually and thematically.
When you think of Jackie Chan, you think he so brave that he is not afraid of anything. Turns out there is one thing that scares him and he told Conan O’Brien it is getting a shot. In fact, he told a story how he ran away from a nurse who was trying to give him one after he got bit by a dog. He runs towards danger, but runs away from a needle. Which I cannot blame him because they hurt.
You know what, he needs to do a movie where he is constantly being chased by doctors who are trying to give him a shot. They can call it Shot in the Dark or Take Your Best Shot.
Jackie Chan Tweeted this awwwwdorable picture and said, “Happy 1 month birthday to my babies, LA & ZY Chan!” I didn’t think that Jackie Chan could get any cuter but seeing him with those stuffed panda bears, I just want to squeeze his cheeks! LA and ZY are lucky to have him as a daddy! I wonder if they will be in his next movie?
