Description: In Columbia Pictures' The Karate Kid, 12-year-old Dre Parker (Jaden Smith) could've been the most popular kid in Detroit, but his mother's (Taraji P. Henson) latest career move has landed him in China. Dre immediately falls for his classmate Mei Ying - and the feeling is mutual - but cultural differences make such a friendship impossible. Even worse, Dre's feelings make an enemy of the class bully, Cheng. In the land of kung fu, Dre knows only a little karate, and Cheng puts "the karate kid" on the floor with ease. With no friends in a strange land, Dre has nowhere to turn but maintenance man Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), who is secretly a master of kung fu. As Han teaches Dre that kung fu is not about punches and parries, but maturity and calm, Dre realizes that facing down the bullies will be the fight of his life.

Lily Collins still attached A little over a month ago, Sony went on a bit of a house-clearing project purge and decided to ditch both the Adam McKay-developed adaptation of graphic novel The Boys and the first cinematic take on Cassandra Clares fantasy book series The Mortal Instruments . Production company Constantin Film promised to try to set it up elsewhere, and now has Unique Films on board to co-finance, with Harald Zwart directing. Lily Collins, who has been attached for a while now, is staying on board to play the heroine, Clary Fray, a young woman who discovers that shes a descendant of a line of Shadowhunters, a secret group of half-angel warriors who protect the world from demons. In the first book, City Of Bones (which will form the backbone of the first film), Frays mother disappears and the girl joins forces with other Shadowhunters who show her the alternate Ne (Read More)Empire Online

Meet the 105 sequels at various stages of production, and a further 17 that seem to have died. Its been nearly five years since we started doing our annual round-ups of the current movie sequels that are in the works, and this year marks the longest list of all. Furthermore, what the 105 we've rounded up here doesnt include are the projects that we suspect might have been lost to development hell, which weve detailed down at the bottom. Hollywood does love its follow-ups. The projects that we do talk about here each have some chance of happening, and weve done a release date cut off of films due after October 2012 at the earliest. Thus, this summers collection of sequels &ndash including The Dark Knight Rises , Madagascar 3 , Ice Age 4 , G.I. Joe 2 , The Expendables 2 , American Pie: The Reunion , Men In (Read More)
