What if The Karate Kid were transported back in time and had to battle a medieval Japanese shogun tyrant?

This is almost as bad as that stupid CGI clip about a city that gets invaded by aliens and got some guy movie rights ...

Fede Alvarez is an incredibly talented guy, the only thing the clip got him was attention, he got a movie deal with Sam Raimi after many meetings, pitchings and thanks to a bunch of different projects he did before, the short film was just what put him in the map. They're not making a movie about that short.

But I think you are talking about this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dadPWhEhVk

He hasn't made a feature yet.

He's directing the Evil Dead remake.

I mean, the reddit idea.

Also, the concept "high concept" is the dumbest in the industry. An ABC press release called fucking Work It "high concept." Work It.

Would love to see the Byzantine Empire utilised in a swords and sandals epic. There's been far too much attention lavished on the Western Empire over the years.

While I would also like a more diverse historical movie palette, obviously the west is going to make movies that interest the west.

That's the worst premise ever. Right next to "Vampire Highschool"

How come nobody truns the "contest" thread into a movie?

Or shit like

It was seriously done countless times.
See Martin Sheen explain time travel!

I miss movie trailers with macho voiceover men like that one. Nowadays its just scenes fading to black with a inception style honking.
