Ok, for those of you who don’t know there is a new ‘Karate Kid’ movie remake in the works which will star Will Smith’s son Jayden as the Karate Kid. It’s kind of weird though since he’s only like 10 years old,and Ralph Macchio was about 23 years old when he took on the role. I guess they’re making an elementary school version of the Karate Kid. Well, anyways the word out is that Martial Arts / Action film star,Jackie Chan is in final negotiations to play the new Mr. Miyagi which I think is not a bad choice at all.
They’ll never be another Pat Morita,but I think Jackie Chan could bring a new fresh life to the Mr. Miyagi character. The only thing though is I always pictured Mr. Miyagi as a very calm old man that can kick butt,but Jackie seems way more hyper than that. I guess though with some good acting and some old-man prosthetics,it could wipe those concerns away for me. He also already played a similar role along side Jet Li in the 2008 film, “The Forbidden Kingdom” when they had to teach a young kid how to fight. The film will start shooting early this summer in Beijing .
The Plot / Synopsis : Set in an Asian part of the world, a young kid (Jayden Smith) that is constantly being bullied will learn to stand up for himself with the help of an eccentric mentor (Jackie Chan).
