Jaden Smith is The Karate Kid
Jaden Smith, the 10-year-old son of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith, will star in the refashioned 1984 hit The Karate Kid, reports Variety.
The film will be produced by his dad, Will, as well as Jerry Weintraub (who launched the original franchise) and Overbrook Entertainment’s James Lassiter, and Ken Stovitz. The film will shoot next year in Beijing and other cities.
Jaden costarred alongside Will in his feature debut, The Pursuit of Happyness.
Ralph Macchio was about 20 when he played Daniel Larusso in The Karate Kid.

he’s cute but this part is NOT for him
Wonder how he scored that part…
I agree that he is just too young for this part. Couldn’t they find a movie with a role more suitable for his age to remake?
AND no pat morita?!! ugh, come on, without the original mr. miyagi it will be horrible,.
Nepotism is the cause of decadence of Hollywood.
There are Angelina Jolie, Jake Gyllenhaal , Maggie Gyllenhaal, the criminal Robert Downey jr, Nicolas Cage Coppola, Sofia Capola and etc, G. Paltrow, Daw Barrymore, Geoge Cloney…
It is better the actors and actresses of Hollywood try to give some education for their children and let them trying to find their own talent in life…and let all these incopetents and clowns work another place…
It is a very good opportunity for vagabund don’t study or work!
The actors and actresses must be select like all employee of a enterprise.
If Hollywood will continous with thes unfair play Iwill not go to the cinema and I will make a personally campain against them for the people don’t go to the cinema and don’t buy the products that they are making merchandise!
Isn’t he a bit young??? I loved the original Karate kid big time!!!

I think that Will Smith haven’t any kind of shame.
It is very easy to be actor of bad circus or to be politician! Difficult take a profission whose you must use your inteligence!
When I would like to watch a family video I watch of my friends or my own family. I don’t need clowns with 1 kg of make up or a changed face produced by a computer trick and I would like to watch the face af all these children without education and background. I wouldn’t like to hear all the stupidy things they will say in interviews because they are victim of ignorance of their parents!
These actors must find another place to sell their children!
MONSTERS!
Another Karate Kid???
I mean Never Back Down with Sean Faris and Cam Gigandet was so a remake of The Karate Kid
Boring.
Will Smith is very smart and he knows how to make more money.
Jaden is cute but another remake film and he is just 10 y/o.
Well,…………………………………I think I have enough of remake Hollywood movies.
he only got the part because of who his dad is.
he’s not a good actor and comes across as a spoiled and arrogant brat.
THE KARATE KID is an ultimate teen classic. Please Hollywood, don’t make it into a joke. Putting this little kid in the shoes of Daniel Larusso will be a huge mistake. THANKS A LOT WILL SMITH FOR TRYING TO RUIN A CLASSIC.
I don’t think there should be a remake of this film. But this guy is too adorable! He did a great job in pursuit of happiness.
I will explain what is a real prostitute. A prostitute is a parasite whose love only money. They sell their mother, their father, their children, their country, their family…themselves…
This child return to be slave again …like his grandparents! The own father sell him!
These people of Hollywood haven’t shame!
Hollywood is a dirty brothel!
why not shia leboeuf???????
Stop hating, there are ton of child actor who are much younger then him and no one seem to care if his parent where poor nobodies who took all his money would people feel the same way. Two Trey is a football start he does not wan to act. I do agree the kids seem full of him self though and I think they need to stop that part
that’s stupid. who would see will smith’s kid in a remake of the karate kid?! not me!
HE’S SO YOUNG THOUGH…
the person named SE makes some good points - but cannot spell.
Smith is too young and Hollywood lacks balls.
