Will Smith’s son, Jaden, stars in his first feature film this weekend, as ‘The Karate Kid’, in this remake of the classic from the 1980’s. Jackie Chan also stars as Mr. Hahn (the remakes version of Mr. Myogi). The film is getting great buzz around the screening and festival circuit, and I look for it to do really well this weekend. I’m predicting a gross near the $40 million dollar range, and should continue to do well in the weeks to come. There are a few midnight shows available tonight in some theaters around the country.

Providing some much needed box office competition for ‘The Karate Kid’ is another take on an ’80’s retro classic TV show, ‘A-Team’. A great cast highlights the film, as Bradley Cooper, Liam Neeson, Sharito Copley (District 9), Jessica Biel, and Rampage Jackson, help bring this action adventure to the big screen. The trailers look very cool for this flick and let’s hope it’s at least a little better than ‘GI Joe’. I’m predicting a $35-38 million gross for this one on opening weekend.

Proving to be the highlight of the MTV Movie Awards this past Sunday night, Paramount Pictures and MTV films have announced that they are making a feature film about mega-producer Les Grossman (Tom Cruise). I think this a great idea, as the character is consistently funny and a full length film will give us a chance to see Grossman in all his glory!! Now, the filmmakers need to add Kirk Lazerus (Robert Downey Jr.) to the film, and all will be perfect. I will be first in line to see this film…no doubt!

Tony Gilroy, the writer of all the ‘Bourne’ movie scripts, is currently working on the script for ‘The Bourne Legacy’. ‘Legacy’ will be the fourth film in the popular movie series. However, as of this announcement, Matt Damon has said the only way he will return is if director Paul Greengrass is at the helm. Not so sure about this one…I loved the way the third one ended, but if they do make another one and Damon is board…I’ll be there!

In other movie news, director F. Gary Gray is in negotiations to helm the big screen version of ‘Kane and Lynch’, based on the popular video game. Bruce Willis and Jamie Foxx have been cast as the leads in the film.

Writers have begun working on ‘The Green Lantern 2’ (the first one is out June 17, 2011) and ‘The Flash’.

The first trailer for ‘The Green Hornet’, starring Seth Rogen, will debut Monday, June 21, on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
