Jaden Smith to Play Next Karate Kid
Jaden Smith is the son of mega-star Will Smith, and is going to be the next Karate Kid. Columbia Pictures is reportedly planning a new version of the 1984 film as a star vehicle for Jaden Smith. The original ‘Karate Kid’ starred Ralph Macchio, and the 1994 sequel launched the career of Oscar-winning actress Hilary Swank.
Interesting choice I guess. Want to guess what the premise of this one is going to be? Do I really need to draw you a map? Kid growing up in the ghetto, meets bad ass karate man, fights gang wars and wins? Well…that is my guess, but I could be way off…lol
I remember loving the original Karate Kid. It was full of cheesy music, and cheesy dialog that only a child would think was great. Kind of like watching the original Star Wars now. Wow….that movie is CHEESY to me now. I must have been still riding around in kids wagons when that movie came out, but I thought it was the greatest thing ever. Boy…things change when you grow up a little. You hear that kids? You will hate yourself when you find out that Britney Spears, and all boy bands suck.
