Remember last year when I told you guys Will Smith was going to remake The Karate Kid and it was going to star his son Jaden? Then Will Smith denied that his 10-year-old son would star in the remake? Well apparently, Will wasn't being enirely truthfull. It has now been confirmed that Jaden will play the title role in a remake which starts shooting in Bejing and other places next year.
Variety reports the movie will be produced by Jerry Weintraub (he did the original). Chris Murphy will write the script. The remake will follow the same plot as the original: a bullied kid fights back thanks to the help of a mentor.
This will be Jaden's third movie. He's already had roles in "The Day The Earth Stood Still" and "The Pursuit of Happyness."
I have no idea how they're going to make this film convincing for a 10 year old to do, but if Mr. Miyagi isn't in the film, I will be very upset. P.S. is Pat Morita still alive?
