Warner Bros has announced it will remake 1973 Kung Fu classic Enter the Dragon [1], 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 [2] as the spook, Jude Law to play a suitably metrosexual [3] and 21st-century monk, and cameo roles for Harold Shand [4] and Nicolas Cage [5] as proprietors of a sinister floating Kung Fu cruise liner which is rather excitingly upended [6] by a large wave.
Yup, we reckon that just about covers it. ®
