![Legendary promoter Jerry Weintraub reflects on
Elvis, Led Zeppelin and his foray into film, including
remaking The Karate Kid. Scott Murphy listens in
4 Sight&Sound AUGUST 8, 2010 SUNDAY MORNING POST
W
hen he was 25, Jerry
Weintraub had a
dream in which he
saw a sign in front of
Madison Square
Garden reading “Jerry Weintraub
presents Elvis”. This convinced
him to relentlessly pursue Elvis
Presley’s manager every day for
a year in a bid to promote the
singer’s first ever arena tour of
the US. Three weeks after he
presented a cheque for US$1million
to “Colonel” Tom Parker, Presley
was on a concert tour and the
Bronx-born hustler was a millionaire
himself.
“What Elvis did for me was
establish me. He changed my life,”
the 72-year-old says in a booming
voice from his home in Los Angeles
(one of five he owns) as he reflects
on a life born from a showbiz fairy
tale: promoting Frank Sinatra and
Led Zeppelin, managing The
Carpenters and John Denver,
shadowing chess whizz Bobby
Fischer and forming friendships
with a varied group including
George Bush Snr (below), Liberace
(above right) and Steve Wynn.
As if that’s not enough for three
lifetimes, let alone one, there was his
foray into the movie industry at a
time when he could produce
controversial films such as the
Robert Altman-directed Nashville,
and Cruising, a film on
homosexuality in a pre-Aids-era
New York City starring Al Pacino
What followed was a stint as chief
executive of United Artists, the
Ocean’s11series and now, coming
full circle, a remake of his own1984
production The Karate Kid (released
in Hong Kong last Thursday).
“I actually didn’t want to do it,”
Weintraub says of the new film, in
which Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan
reprise roles originally
played by Ralph
Macchio and Pat
Morita. “I was very
much against it. But
Will [Smith] came
to me many times
and said, ‘I really
want to make this
film’. The script was
terrific, then when
they came up with
the idea of
shooting
in China,
where I
had been
many times, I thought that was
extraordinary. Then when they got
the help of the Chinese government
– that made it even more
extraordinary.”
He admits “they were right and I
was wrong” in remaking the movie,
which has replaced the California-
based teenager-out-of-water
(Macchio) who learns karate to fight
his tormentors in the ring, with an
even younger12-year-old boy from
Detroit (Jaden) who finds himself
learning kung fu in Beijing at the
hands of a mentor (Chan). While
deftly sidestepping attempts to
explain his exact role in the film as
one of five producers, Weintraub is
quick to point out that “my
relationship was more with Jaden
and Will, but I think Jackie Chan is
great. I think it is probably his best
acting role of his career.”
Since the film has already
grossed US$250 million at the box
office, a sequel is already
guaranteed. “We’re going to do a
sequel, of course with Jaden, and we
want Jackie involved. We haven’t
made a deal with him yet but we
want him involved,” Weintraub says.
Without divulging more details (and
one gets the sense there aren’t any
yet), the veteran producer goes on to
remark about how blown away he
was by today’s China (“It was pretty
fantastic”) before launching into one
of his many stories where name
dropping is second nature.
“I first stayed in Beijing at the
state guest house in1978 when Deng
Xiaoping was there,” he recalls. “I
went there with Armand Hammer, a
philanthropist and oil man, and we
were invited for a dinner with
George Bush Snr, before he was
vice-president. I remember running
in Tiananmen Square. It was quite
different then.”
Weintraub has so many
seemingly fantastical stories that
writer Rich Cohen (whose past

What was world war II
World War II was a global war fought between two sides from 1939 to 1945. It began with Germany and the Soviet Union invading Poland together, though they later broke apart when Germany invaded the Soviet Union as well. The major leaders in the war were Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Joseph Stalin, and Adolf Hitler. The United States originally did not intend to join the fighting, which had been ongoing for two years, but the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 changed that and brought America into the war. Propaganda posters were used during the war to promote causes and governments through often exaggerated or false statements and images that played on stereotypes.

Film historia
Classical Hollywood cinema developed between the 1910s and 1960s as the dominant style of American filmmaking, characterized by narrative and visual continuity. Some exemplary films from this era include The Wizard of Oz, Gone with the Wind, and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Post-classical or New Hollywood cinema emerging in the 1960s featured changing storytelling methods like nonlinear plots and blurred protagonist/antagonist roles.

- 1. Legendary promoter Jerry Weintraub reflects on Elvis, Led Zeppelin and his foray into film, including remaking The Karate Kid. Scott Murphy listens in 4 Sight&Sound AUGUST 8, 2010 SUNDAY MORNING POST W hen he was 25, Jerry Weintraub had a dream in which he saw a sign in front of Madison Square Garden reading “Jerry Weintraub presents Elvis”. This convinced him to relentlessly pursue Elvis Presley’s manager every day for a year in a bid to promote the singer’s first ever arena tour of the US. Three weeks after he presented a cheque for US$1million to “Colonel” Tom Parker, Presley was on a concert tour and the Bronx-born hustler was a millionaire himself. “What Elvis did for me was establish me. He changed my life,” the 72-year-old says in a booming voice from his home in Los Angeles (one of five he owns) as he reflects on a life born from a showbiz fairy tale: promoting Frank Sinatra and Led Zeppelin, managing The Carpenters and John Denver, shadowing chess whizz Bobby Fischer and forming friendships with a varied group including George Bush Snr (below), Liberace (above right) and Steve Wynn. As if that’s not enough for three lifetimes, let alone one, there was his foray into the movie industry at a time when he could produce controversial films such as the Robert Altman-directed Nashville, and Cruising, a film on homosexuality in a pre-Aids-era New York City starring Al Pacino What followed was a stint as chief executive of United Artists, the Ocean’s11series and now, coming full circle, a remake of his own1984 production The Karate Kid (released in Hong Kong last Thursday). “I actually didn’t want to do it,” Weintraub says of the new film, in which Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan reprise roles originally played by Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita. “I was very much against it. But Will [Smith] came to me many times and said, ‘I really want to make this film’. The script was terrific, then when they came up with the idea of shooting in China, where I had been many times, I thought that was extraordinary. Then when they got the help of the Chinese government – that made it even more extraordinary.” He admits “they were right and I was wrong” in remaking the movie, which has replaced the California- based teenager-out-of-water (Macchio) who learns karate to fight his tormentors in the ring, with an even younger12-year-old boy from Detroit (Jaden) who finds himself learning kung fu in Beijing at the hands of a mentor (Chan). While deftly sidestepping attempts to explain his exact role in the film as one of five producers, Weintraub is quick to point out that “my relationship was more with Jaden and Will, but I think Jackie Chan is great. I think it is probably his best acting role of his career.” Since the film has already grossed US$250 million at the box office, a sequel is already guaranteed. “We’re going to do a sequel, of course with Jaden, and we want Jackie involved. We haven’t made a deal with him yet but we want him involved,” Weintraub says. Without divulging more details (and one gets the sense there aren’t any yet), the veteran producer goes on to remark about how blown away he was by today’s China (“It was pretty fantastic”) before launching into one of his many stories where name dropping is second nature. “I first stayed in Beijing at the state guest house in1978 when Deng Xiaoping was there,” he recalls. “I went there with Armand Hammer, a philanthropist and oil man, and we were invited for a dinner with George Bush Snr, before he was vice-president. I remember running in Tiananmen Square. It was quite different then.” Weintraub has so many seemingly fantastical stories that writer Rich Cohen (whose past Millionaire hustler
