To be released on May 2010. Ohh..dont mind the poster above bearing the year 2009, hehehe they changed the released date.

“Ang Panday” is an upcoming movie produced by GMA Films and Imus Productions and one of the entries of the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) 2009.
It is a remake of the Filipino classic Panday, which was created by Carlo J. Caparas. Two of its most popular characters are Flavio and his nemesis Lizardo, portrayed in this movie by Senator Bong Revilla and Phillip Salvador, respectively. Iza Calzado will be Bong’s leading lady. The production cost of this movie is estimated at 70 million pesos and according to those who saw the trailer, it’s comparable to Lord of the Rings in terms of special effects.
Remember “The Karate Kid” with Pat Morita and Ralph Macchio? This a remake with Jackie Chan and a kiddie Jaden Smith. But the arguments are like wildfire why this movie has been called The Karate Kid when the setting is in Beijing? That means it's all about Kung-Fu! This is a Chinese co-production movie.
And besides there’s just too many times that Hollywood has inappropriately remake a franchise that turns into a disaster. Either way, I’m glad that Jackie Chan is back to making fun movies...but in this movie Jackie looks old.
And eheemmm..has anybody bothered to think about the negative effects of this movie on kids? have anyone thought about the fact that maybe...just maybe..they will want to emulate it? hehehe...i'm not against the movie...it looks great, but a kid should still not be watching other kids kicking balls. Just a thought of it hehehee.
In the trailer, the general premise appears to be the same boy gets harassed all the time, meet a fighter and trained in some fighting techniques and decipline, and then faces his tormentor in a fight competition, but this new version looks like full of new twist. Hhhmmmmm...let's see heheheeh!
