Yes Grasshopper...

Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures have signed Max "One Last Dance" Makowski to direct the big screen "Kung Fu" adaptation, based on the 1970's and early (Toronto-shot) 1980's TV series starring actor David Carradine.

Cory Goodman rewrote the screenplay by Howard Friedlander.

TV series creator Ed Spielman will executive produce the new feature, with a March 8 start in China.

Casting Call:

"Male, 20-35. A handsome mix of East (Chinese/Asian) meets West (American). A man with the emotional capacity of a young Clint Eastwood. Charismatic and charming, Caine was raised by Shaolin monks after his mother's murder and became a highly skilled fighter. In addition to being a strong actor with the right look, the actor for this role should be athletic and although not required, some martial arts training, gymnastics or ballet are a plus."
