Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan are looking for the next Karate Kid
November 21st, 2023 under Jackie Chan, Ralph Macchio. [ Comments: none ]

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.

Sequel updates: The Holiday, Rush Hour, Election, and Wonder Woman
December 8th, 2022 under DC Comics, Jackie Chan, Reese Witherspoon/Ryan Phillippe. [ Comments: none ]

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.

That’s all folks…for now.

The one thing Jackie Chan is afraid of…
November 22nd, 2017 under Conan O'Brien, Jackie Chan. [ Comments: none ]


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.

August 17th, 2010 under Jackie Chan, Movie Star Gossip. [ Comments: none ]


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?

Karate Kid’s Daniel-son is now Dre-son
May 6th, 2009 under Jackie Chan, Stupid Sequels/Remakes. [ Comments: 4 ]


Moviehole was (un)lucky enough to get their hands on the sh!tty details of the movie that claims to be a remake of The Karate Kid with Ralph Macchio.

Sherry is offered a transfer to China. Considering the U.S office is about to lay off everyone, it’s really her only choice; especially since nobody else at the office has been offered a transfer. With her young son Dre (Jaden Smith) in tow, the single-mother makes Beijing her new home. Needless to say, not knowing Chinese, and experiencing a bit of culture shock, they both find it a little hard to settle in – – Dre especially.
Like Daniel Larusso in the original film, Dre (who, unlike Larusso, is a skateboarding video-game buff) immediately catches the attention of the local bullies – in particular, Lui Wei Cheng. And before too long, Dre is going home with bruises (he tries to hide a black-eye under a cap by pulling it as far down his face as he can) and whining about wanting to return to the states.
Dre’s enrolled into a strict Beijing Middle School. His first day there is a bit of a shambles – the assistant principal spots his bruises, and assumes he’s been fighting (which, of course, they don’t accept under any circumstances), and he turns up in a school uniform, something he didn’t have to wear that day (there’s only certain days when a uniform is required).
The Mr Myiagi character is actually named Mr. Han (Jackie Chan). He’s the maintenance man of the apartment lock that Sherry and Dre have moved into, and meets the new residents when he’s called over to fix their hot water service. From the bathroom, Han spots Dre practicing martial-arts kicks (unsuccessfully) in front of a video-game, and catches his black eye. Later, of course, he’ll agree to teach him – both martial-arts and the Chinese language (so he can impress his mother by haggling over apples).
The ‘John Kreese’ character – the character played by Martin Kove in the original film – is Li Quan Ha, the owner of the Fighting dragon school of Kung-Fu. One visit to the school – in which Li Quan terrorizes his students (who range from the age of 3 onwards), namely Lui Wei Cheng – and Dre is immediately put off.
Oh, and yes, there’s a love interest – someone mother wants Dre to bring home for dinner.
“The film has a similar tone to the original movie”, I’m told. “There are a lot of funny lines – mainly delivered by Jackie Chan. It is actually a good script though, very good in fact. It’s different enough to be considered its own beast too”.

Will Smith needs to give up that this piece of crap he created for his son Jaden is anyway related to the original The Karate Kid. Seriously I pray this movie goes straight-to-DVD because it really deserves to go straight-to-the-trash.
On that note, here is something positive…According to CinemaBlend Robert Rodriguez’s Barbarella with his fiancee Rose McGowan is officially dead!!! One remake down, many many more to go!!!

UPDATE: I just figured out why the character’s name is Dre it is short for Dreadful which this movie is going to be!
