Kung Fu gets movie makeover

Hit 1970s TV show Kung Fuand its do-good Shaolin monk is to be resurrected for the big screen.

The programme, which follows Caine from his Chinese monastery to the American West, has inspired twin directing brothers Allen and Albert Hughes who hope to have completed the big screen translation by 2008.

David Carradine, the show's original star, is unlikely to reprise his crusading role, according to EmpireOnline.com.
