Deadline says
Bill Paxton is in talks to direct Kung Fu, a screen adaptation of the classic 1972 TV series that starred David Carradine. Paxton, who’s coming off a run in the HBO series Big Love, gets the job after helming two solid films: Frailty and The Greatest Game Ever Played. John McLaughlin will write the script. The film’s being put together under the Legendary Entertainment banner to shoot partly in China next summer. It is possible that this will come under Legendary East, the Hong Kong-based joint venture that involves Thomas Tull’s Legendary, but insiders said that hasn’t happened to this point.
The latest "Deadpool & Wolverine" trailer gave us a glimpse at the MCU's golden boys kicking butt and taking names - as well as a whole mess of Easter eggs.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
I used to watch the original Kung Fu series as a kid and really liked it. I think that Billy Paxton is more then capable of making a good movie from this series.
The logic of this escapes me. Because he made a couple of good drama films, they think he's capable of handling a martial arts film? I know Kung Fu always had plenty of dramatic elements, but the action can't be ignored either.
Bill Paxton is very talented and he's has directed some tv but I don't think he's done movies yet...I do think he's capable though. I would like to see a Kung Fu movie if it's done right.
Everything will depend on the star headlining this movie.
