Karate Kid remake. Jackie Chan = Mr. Miyagi, Jaden Smith = Daniel-san

Quote:

Jackie Chan is set to play a new version of beloved karate mentor Mr. Miyagi -- though not necessarily a character named Mr. Miyagi -- in the new remake of 1980s classic The Karate Kid.

Who'd have thought Pat Morita would be a casualty of the remake craze currently consuming Hollywood, but that's exactly what's happening, as the late actor's iconic performance as Mr. Miyagi is getting a makeover for the new Kid, which will star Will Smith's son, Jaden. The film will be directed by Harald Zwart (who???) the man behind the upcoming Steve Martin vehicle The Pink Panther 2.

Variety describes the film thusly:

Set in an exotic Asian locale, the new film will borrow elements of the original plot, wherein a bullied youth (Smith) learns to stand up for himself with the help of an eccentric mentor (Chan)

I'm not an overly nostalgic person, but there are just some things I'd like to remember as they were. This must be the work of Cobra Kai.

In my opinion, it's destined for failure. You just shouldn't mess with a classic.

QFTMFT. The studios are still trying to destroy my childhood :P

fail

i was telling my cousin several weeks ago, that he should make a new karate kid and cast Daniel Larusso (Ralph Macchio) and make him the new Mr. Miyagi

that would be so much cooler and make more sense

Good god.. this isn't going to be good...

lol gonna be funny to watch

:bowrofl: going to be epic-fail

oh fuck me... somebody shoot me.

The Karate Kid isn't the Karate Kid without the "You're the Best" tournie song and other 80's music.

oh boy, another flop...

Didnt Jackie Chan already make one,

THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM?

shit that kid was annoying in The Day the Earth Stood Still

Hahahaha..... that song was awesome!!!

/wrists... why do they keep destroying movies by remaking them?? Seriously... just leave well enough alone!

What really ticks me off if that asian people are stereotyped as martial artist in hollywood. Well, looks like even a black kid took that spot now.

here's the trailer

Jackie Chan beats up some 10year olds, at least Miaygi beating up teenagers wasn't a big deal...

gotta say i'll watch this lol

OK this looks pretty awesome, or at least not a complete utter failure that I thought it would be. It looks like they really stuck to the original story, which is good.

Shouldn't it be called Kung-Fu Kid though?

My main hope is that this encourages them to release a really good version of the original on Blu-Ray.

TAKE OFF YOUR JACKET, YOU GONNA GET RAPED!

wtf i thought this was actually a fake until i saw the trailer, which doesn't look too bad surprisingly (except for the take off jacket part)
