From the department of bad ideas...

Here's a couple of movie-related news items that have bad idea written all over them:

Jackie Chan joins The Karate Kid remake
Yes, they are doing another Karate Kid movie. This time with Chan in the Mr. Miyagi and Will Smith's kid in the titular role. Why can't they just leave this franchise alone? I dread the day when someone wants to try a Back to the Future remake.


McG to direct 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
Despite it's title, this is not a remake per se, but rather a prequel of sorts that looks at the origin story of Captain Nemo. You know, not everyone deserves to have an origin story made about this. Nemo isn't Batman for goodness sakes. And I'm sure with McG directing, Nemo's origin story will somehow involve a lot of explosions and techno music.


Michael Cera still not signed on for Arrested movie
If Cera doesn't agree to do the movie, he'll be the one muttering 'I've made a huge mistake'. Everyone else is on board, so what's taking him so long. He was too integral to the show to be left out. Let it be known that if he doesn't sign on, he'll be put on the 'On Notice' board immediately and you do NOT want that pal.
