Warner Bros has announced it will remake 1973 Kung Fu classic Enter the Dragon (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070034/), AP chillingly reports.
The rehash - cunningly entitled Awaken the Dragon - will be directed by The Shield's Kurt Sutter and will feature "an FBI agent who investigates a Shaolin monk and underground kung fu fight clubs", according to Warner Bros publicist Laura Kim.
Casting details are not forthcoming, but we'd like to suggest remake specialist Sly Stallone (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/11/01/movies_ten_worst/) as the spook, Jude Law to play a suitably metrosexual (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0375173/) and 21st-century monk, and cameo roles for Harold Shand (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/05/17/long_good_friday_outrage/) and Nicolas Cage (http://thewickermanmovie.warnerbros.com/) as proprietors of a sinister floating Kung Fu cruise liner which is rather excitingly upended (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0409182/) by a large wave.
Yup, we reckon that just about covers it. ®
