    HONG KONG — Mr. Chan may be the new Mr. Miyagi.

    Jackie Chan is in talks with Columbia Pictures to star in a remake of "The Karate Kid," a spokesman for the Hollywood studio said Thursday.

    Steve Elzer, senior vice president for media relations at Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Group, confirmed the talks in an e-mail to The Associated Press but didn't give further details.

    The plot of the remake will mirror the original, with Chan being eyed to play a mentor who helps a youngster stand up to bullies — a role similar to Pat Morita's Mr. Miyagi in the 1984 film, Hollywood trade publication Variety reported Wednesday.

    The youth will be played by Will Smith's son, Jaden Smith, who starred alongside his father in "The Pursuit of Happyness" and appeared in the Keanu Reeves sci-fi movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still," Variety reported.

    The setting has been changed to Asia from California, with shooting due to start in Beijing this summer, according to Variety.

    The movie will be a co-production with state-run China Film Group, according to Variety, which would allow Columbia to bypass China's annual quota of 20 film imports on a revenue-sharing basis.

    Chan, who juggles careers in Hollywood and Chinese-language film, has been shooting the American film "The Spy Next Door," an action comedy about a Chinese spy working in the US who loses his cover. - AP

    Chan's character in Forbidden Kingdom was more of a tribute to the old man who played his master in Drunken Master and Snake in the Eagle's Shadow.

    ----

    Hmmm... ask a Chinese man to play a Japanese character in a movie about a japanese martial art...

    And even worse... the Japanese Character is an ex-soldier.

    I know they're re-writing it completely, but I can see a lot of Chinese people being very unhappy about this.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
