Why not have the story set so that Danial is the master who's taking a new student under his wing? I think that would be better than having an entirely new cast.

Yeah, that would work a whole lot better. I don't see why they're so keen on a remake.

Heh, it's nice to know that the new Karate Kid is actually a KID this time.

And since it's Will Smith's son, I'm calling him the Karate Kid of Bel-Air.

NO NO NO. Stop turning good old movies into bad new movies. JUST STOP. (I hope the people responsible are listening)

I don't know why they're calling it a remake. The kid is black, it's located in China, it's not going to be like the first Karate Kid, so why not call it KK4?

Actually it would be Karate Kid 5 because after the 3 with Ralph Macchio they did one called The Next Karate Kid (since Ralph Macchio was in his 30's, they wanted somebody younger ) that starred Hillary Swank (age 19) as a new student for Mr. Myagi.

Yes they can easily have Ralph Macchio show up as the master since Pat Morita died a couple years back. But that would make too much sense for a writer/director.

Ironically Hillary Swank is now about the same age Ralph Macchio was when they decided to do Next Karate Kid....

Don't like it, don't watch. The original won't be changed at all.

Seriously, I never understood that mentality, along with the whole "my childhood is ruined" crap. So uh...these movies are somehow gonna take the memories you have of the originals and rewrite them or *gasp* tarnish them?! Gimme a break.

Better yet, why not loosely adapt the previous concepts into something superior to the source material??

ok someone tell me why is it so easy for them to make crap movies, with no original ideas and we can't get a freaking decent TMNT movie??

And why is this being filmed in China when Karate is Japanese?

TMNT isn't as marketable right now?

Karate stems from Chinese Martial Arts in the 13th and 14th centuries when some Chinese moved to a Japanese Island to do some trading.
