Member laagi Posted February 12 Member Share Posted February 12 (edited) Did anyone read the fine print on the casting call? "We are committed to diverse, inclusive casting..." Edited February 12 by laagi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member laagi Posted February 12 Member Share Posted February 12 (edited) 1 hour ago, Yihetuan said: I never heard of him or seen him any films, so I'll reserve any comments about his acting. The casting is for a teenage Chinese immigrant who lands on the East Coast & has to deal with bullying and finds strength in a mentor (probably the Ralph Macchio character). Correct me if I'm wrong but that's literally the plot of 'The Karate Kid' (2010) So all they did is change Beijing with the East Coast!? WTF...

Ben Wang an ABC actor https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/karate-kid-found-ben-wang-1235822729/ He vaguely looks like a young Chow Yun-Fat. Whether he can act like Fatty, is another matter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF... You really didn't think they would mess with the story did you? The only 2 things that's changed in all the films was the location (California, Okinawa, Beijing, and now the East Coast)& the color of the "karate kid" (White 2x, Black and now Chinese), the rest is formulaic and by the numbers.
