Und auch der neue Karate Kid von 2010 bekommt eine Forsetzung. In den Hauptrollen abermals das Gespann Jaden Smith als Dre Parker und Jackie Chan als sein eigenwilliger Mentor Mr. Han.
Wie SonyPictures vermeldet, wird Breck Eisner diesmal anstelle von Harald Zwart die Regie übernehmen.
Einen genauen Drehtermin scheint es noch nicht zu geben. Die Pre-Production beginnt aber schon mal zu rollen....
Sony Pictures has locked Breck Eisner to direct Karate Kid 2, the sequel that will bring back Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan. Harald Zwart directed the 2010 original, which grossed $56 million on its opening weekend and ended with $343 million worldwide. Eisner, repped by CAA and Management 360, most recently directed the gritty horror film The Crazies. It is an important film for the studio that has placed a premium in the care and feeding of franchises with global appeal. The original 1984 Karate Kid is a beloved film, but let’s face it, that crane deal at the end would never have worked, and this kid is way more believable as a martial artist.
