Previously titled One Thousand A.E., the return from renowned director M. Night Shyamalan behind the camera on After Earth has a lot of potential going for it. Real-life father and son Will Smith and Jaden Smith will star as father and son in the film, with a script coming from Gary Whitta (The Book of [...]
Further news today, from THR and others, on the story which rose its head way back in October and which placed Jaden Smith in front of M. Night Shyamalan’s camera for a sci-fi epic called One Thousand AE (note: AE was never explained, best guess was After Earth) with Dad Will Smith donning his producer’s [...]
Not content with shining the spotlight on his 12 year-old son in last year’s reworking of The Karate Kid, Will Smith now has a possible reboot in his sights for Jaden’s younger sibling. Variety are reporting that the Men in Black star is toying with producing a remake of the musical Annie, with daughter Willow [...]
I enjoyed Harald Zwart’s remake of The Karate Kid far more than I expected to, and now it comes to Blu-ray and DVD I had to satisfy my curiosity as to my reaction: was it really as good as I thought, and if so was the set of extras good enough to make this worth [...]
Leaping fresh faced from another critical hammering M. Night Shyamalan continues undaunted to his next project, which we’ve heard will be a sci-fi project called One Thousand A.E. And there’s even better news – the film is being set up with Will Smith’s production company with Jaden Smith lined up for a leading role. Smith’s [...]
Cyrus Voris and Ethan Reiff, who co-wrote Dreamworks’ 2008 animation film Kung Fu Panda, have been hired by Columbia Pictures to pen the sequel to The Karate Kid. Directed by Harald Zwart, The Karate Kid starred Jaden Smith, Taraji P. Henson and Jackie Chan. They are all expected to return for the sequel. The Karate Kid, [...]
Harald Zwart’s remake of The Karate Kid is exactly the film you expect, and nothing like the film you expect. It echoes the 1984 original endlessly, but expands it immeasurably – training montages take place on the Great Wall instead of a sour looking beachfront, the shopfronted Karate class is changed into a thousand strong [...]
Last night, London saw the UK premiere of the Karate Kid and our friends from Upbeat were back on the red carpet to collect all the footage and grab interviews with the stars of he movie which is out in UK cinemas, 28th July. They got to speak to stars Jackie Chan, Jaden Smith and [...]
This past weekend saw two big movies open at the US box office. There were high hopes for The Karate Kid and The A-Team, and they enjoyed remarkably differing fortune at the box office. With an opening weekend gross of around $25M, The A-Team only made a small percentage of its production budget, while The [...]
I’ve got a bit of a bee in my bonnet at the moment in that I can’t wait to see The Karate Kid remake, The A-Team movie and Jonah Hex. All 3 of them are out in the US within the next 7 days but we’re having to wait 6 weeks for the first two [...]
There can’t be too many 80s reboots which have met with such a mixture of apathy and an impending sense of doom than Harald Zwart’s retelling of The Karate Kid, and yet despite all negative portents what we’ve seen so far looks…ok. So, while the first buzz comes in from the reviews across the pond [...]
So it’s now 4.30am, it’s getting light outside and it’s about time I go to bed, but before I do, I have to bring the opening of tonight’s MTV 2010 Movie Awards to your attention. Although the evening was dominated by all things Twilight as we knew it would be, let’s cast that aside as [...]
The time is counting down until 18th June when the remake of The Karate Kid hits UK cinemas. Will there be waxing on, will there be waxing off, will there be some painting of any fences? I guess we’ll have to wait and see but in the meantime, here’s a new French poster publicising the [...]
When news came out that The Karate Kid was going to be remade, the movie blogging world shuddered at the thought. We retracted our worries slightly when the first trailer was released late last year and today, we have the new theatrical trailer (embedded below) and I have to say it looks pretty good. The [...]
Here’s the brand new International trailer for The Karate Kid which stars Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan doing pretty much the same thing that Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita did 26 years ago. Man, I can’t believe it’s that old! This new trailer doesn’t show us anything that we didn’t see in US version of [...]
OK, so here is the moment we’ve all been dreading! Sony have released the new trailer for the remake of the 80s classic, The Karate Kid which stars Jaden Smith (as Dre) and Jackie Chan (as Mr. Han) and is released 16th July. The trailer still scares me but it’s not as bad as I [...]
Yesterday I posted a new image from the Karate Kid remake and today Sony have released a few more. I guess they go to show that Jaden Smith who is taking on the role of the pupil (Dre) while Jackie Chan becomes the sensai in the form of Mr. Han. As I said in the [...]
Here’s the first photo for a remake which as yet, I haven’t found anyone who wants…. that of The Karate Kid. Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan are staring in the remake of the 1984 movie of the same name (although this version does seem to be changing what it’s called all the time). This first [...]
