As noted in today’s edition of The Broadsheet, a writer at VF. com has made a compelling (or at least intriguing, or at least time-killing) case for The King’s Speech being little more than a well-produced riff on the original 1984 version of The Karate Kid . On the one hand, tropes is tropes; there are only so many original stories in the world, and eventually everything will have something in common. On the other… I mean, “The unorthodox, uncredentialed teacher is contrasted with a cruel — but more respected — educator.” Or, “The teacher helps fill a void left by the student’s absent father.” Is this the beginning of a covert Sony vs. Weinstein Oscar-season war?

So a few weeks ago I’m in a bar with a friend, and we’re talking movies, alas, and he says, “You hear about the Ghost Writer sequel?” I thought about this and wondered who slipped drugs into my beer. “A Ghost Writer sequel?” I repeated. “What would that even be ? Roman Polanski’s under house arrest! What characters would even be around for it?” Friendo shook his head. “No, no, no — Ghost RIDER . The Nicolas Cage thing? Marvel Comics? Hairpiece?” I sheepishly, desperately gulped the rest of my beer. Anyway, this is the scenic route to saying that Sony is finally moving on a Ghost Rider sequel, and Cage is finally considering joining up. Oh, and Karate Kid 2 isn’t far behind.

Need more proof that pre-release polling is totally useless? Heading into this weekend of ’80s reboots, The Karate Kid and The A-Team were running neck and neck — both pegged for around $30 million in ticket sales. Where are those “Dewey Defeats Truman” headlines when you need them? The Karate Kid almost doubled those expectations this weekend, easily defeating the exploding version of The A-Team in the process. Those stories of June Gloom in Hollywood can stop now. The cruel summer — ahem — is officially over. Cue up some Bananarama and click ahead for the weekend receipts.

For those weaned on the original, watching The Karate Kid ‘s franchise reboot is a little like running into your old crush at a middle-school reunion: Warmly familiar and yet altered enough to warrant a second look, the raw material’s all there, it’s just been moved around a bit. OK, more than a bit: The Sex and the City ladies follow the money to Abu Dhabi; the Karate kid and his widowed mom follow the jobs — to China. This necessitates one of the film’s most conspicuous and yet least noted swap-outs: In China one practices kung fu, but karate is Japanese, as was the original film’s instructor, Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita). And yet the title remains, asserting allegiance to brand over narrative logic. It’s all the same crap anyway, right?

This week, our Hollywood Kid takes on The Karate Kid , as Michael Musto hears that Jaden Smith will be doing very selective press to promote his upcoming star vehicle. Is it an attempt curb his tween ego, or do parents Will and Jada have another motive? In other news, Gwyneth Paltrow turns down a musical, and a big-name director is flying cross-country with a gaggle of boys in his private jet. If you don’t know the answer to that blind item, trust me: someone here will.
