The movie is supposed to be a PRE-quel to the original t.v. story. This means Caine as achild and a teen. Keanu is MUCH too old!

I wish I could get word to Ed Spielman regarding the Kung Fu feature film and suggest they shoot it in the U.S. and re-tell the original story. The only actor I see that could reprise the original role of Caine that David Carradine did so brilliantly is Keanu Reeves. Brandon Lee would have been amazing but unfortunately he is no longer with us. The character is a half Caucasian, half Chinese, and even though Keanu is half Polynesian and half Caucasian, he has the perfect looks for the character. I can envision Keanu after studying the character, getting all of Davids gestures and mannerisms and slow,deliberate voice down to an art. The shaven head while in the monastery and as his hair grows out, the raggedy clothes and hat, would fit him to a tee. He has the build and martial arts training via The Matrix. He is a bankable Super Star, the audiences love him and martial arts stories. Perhaps Jackie Chan to play Master Po, Jason Scott Lee, there are many great Asian actors out there now. Stage the movie to take him into the U.S. and into situations looking for his brother and end it to be shown in sequels through his journeys to find his brother. An idea.

I for one actually hope that they don’t have Caradine in it because if this is a retelling and rewriting and it is going to be serious as it sounds, having him there would only take away from it.

Those cameos rarely work well in a serious movie, and as he points out he is 70… a very good 70, but still 70.

Also I hope that they return it more to the vision of Bruce Lee’s concept for when he came up with the show having himself as the lead. I still think that it was a great tragedy that he had the role taken from him, even though I enjoyed Caradine’s Caine.
