I agree with manonfire above, who the hell could they even think about getting to replace Pat Morita?
I predict a schmaltzy suck fest of epic proportions arising from this butt brained idea, there are just some movies that you should not remake.

Has anyone yet considered that Will Smith will be playing the Mr. Miyagi role? Makes sense, yes?

"Is there anything that they won't do? Surely a "Three Men and a Baby" remake is not far away..."

They should remake "Three Men And A Baby" in French, and call it "Three Men and A Cradle."

If this monstrosity happens, know what that means? That means a montage scene with a bastardized rap remix of the song "You're the best around". *shudder* can't you just hear Will Smith now? "Unnh! Unnh! Yo! You're da best around! Nuttin' keepin a shorty down. Unnh! Unnh!"

Mr Miyagi is dead. There is no one that can fill his sandals.

Some of these posts are about as remade as all the movie remakes combined. Maybe these remake news bits will go away if you'd quit commenting about them, and by "commenting", I mean "copy/paste the response 'another remake???? OFMFGFSRSLYORLY!!!!110010101'".

Has that movie been remade a thousand times already? I think the producers should play around with the theme a little bite, change the title and try to sell it as some kind of generic karate movie for teens.

This could be a good sign for Jaden's movie career. I say this because the last "Kid" was Hilary Swank and look at the 2 Oscars she won. Every actor has to start with a few bad movies early in their career.

I vote for a remake of 9 to 5 next. Yeah, baby! Let's have Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, and Estelle Getty as the three women.
