Member Drunken Monk Posted January 21, 2020 Member Share Posted January 21, 2020 According to Deadline, David Leitch (director of Hobbs & Shaw, Atomic Blonde and Deadpool 2) is set to direct a reboot of Kung Fu. By Kung Fu, I mean the show starring David Carradine. This time it will be a full-length movie after Universal bought the rights from ABC. Fingers crossed, Leitch will go back to the more intimate action set-pieces he once directed instead of the big, explosion filled stuff of his recent movies.

Very good question, I wonder if either project is even aware of each other?. Or will it be the other way round?, have Fox already bought the rights?. Re-booting the series on the big and small screen, at the same time?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Fox is no longer doing the TV reboot and instead will go to the CW. I think this may be a case where one company is given the Film rights to reboot and another company has the rights to do a television reboot. Case in point, Child's Play. MGM only owns the original 1988 film, so they were allowed to reboot it (hence the 2019 reboot), but all sequel rights were given to Universal and thus, Universal will be continuing their series in the Chucky TV series.
