BEIJING (AP) — Jackie Chan will play the wise kung-fu master in a Hollywood-Chinese remake of the 1984 hit "The Karate Kid" that kicked off filming in the Chinese capital

Martial arts actor Jackie Chan is in negotiations to star as Mr. Miyagi in a remake of The Karate Kid.

There are some movies that live forever in the minds of humanity generation after generation. They span decades, continents, and cross racial and gender divides.

Will Smith's actor son Jaden is to revive the Karate Kid franchise two months after the Men In Black star's publicists denied reports. The young Pursuit Of Happyness star is in talks with film executives about the role.

The Game Show Network (GSN) will be airing a week-long “Match Game” tribute to actor Pat Morita, who passed away Thursday at the age of 73. Morita was best known for his Academy Award-nominated role as Mr. Miyagi in the Karate Kid movies and for his role as restaurant owner Arnold on the hit television series Happy Days.

Bosnia and Hong Kong honored martial arts legend Bruce Lee by unveiling statues of the icon on what would have been his 65th birthday. Lee passed away in 1973 while filming The Game of Death. Conspiracy theories surround his death, but he allegedly died from a cerebral edema. Lee is widely known for his films Fists of Fury, The Chinese Connection, Enter the Dragon, and Return of the Dragon, as well as for his portrayal of Kato on The Green Hornet.
