Kung Fu High School
Kung Fu High School
According to Variety,
The Weinstein Company has acquired screen rights to Kung Fu High School,
a novel by Ryan Gattis has been picked up and scripted by Ernesto Foronda.
The film will be done as a collaboration between the Weinstein's and Dimension
films.
Kung Fu High School is the story of a school where the students
are split among five gangs, each of which employs a stylized ancient Asian
martial-arts discipline. Considering that these gangs don't exactly get
along, the high school soon receives the nickname Kung Fu High, for all
the violent martial-arts combat that occurs.
Neal Edelstein and Mike Macari immediately picked up the adaptation at a
price somewhere in the high six figures region. Due to their quick move
towards the film, the two have been awarded dibs to produce the film under
their Macari/Edelstein Films banner.
These two were also responsible for coming into contact with Ernesto Foronda,
who has the task of adapting the story to a green-lit screenplay. Forondo
is also busily working on a domestic remake of the breakout film Oldboy
for Universal.
Stay tuned for updates.
