Welp, it looks like another beloved movie from the 1980′s has been pilfered and repackaged for rerelease to a new generation of viewers … The Karate Kid remake film has begun production and will feature Jackie Chan in the “Mr. Miyagi” role and Jaden Pinkett-Smitt (son of Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith) will take on the Daniel LaRusso role. In this remake, the young karate student movies to Beijing, China and he studies under his sensei in order to learn how to protect himself from bullies … not exactly the storyline of the original film but it will have the same Karate Kid name. Here are a few photos of Chan and the young Pinkett-Smith filming scenes for the remake:

The first pictures from the set of “Kung Fu Kid”, a loose remake to 1984 hit “The Karate Kid”, have surfaced. Put out by Spoiler TV, the set photos center their attention to two of its major characters, Jaden Smith’s Dre and his Kung Fu mentor, Jackie Chan’s Mr. Han. The series of images capture the two shooting for training sequence on a misty dock. In this updated version of “Karate Kid”, Jaden takes the role of a boy who moves to Beijing with his mother. There, he’ll encounter a bully situation similar to what Daniel LaRusso, the main character in “Karate Kid” faced. Learning how to stand up for himself, the teenager gets a helping hand from an eccentric mentor. “Kung Fu Kid” is in production under the direction of helmer Harald Zwart. Screenwriter Steven Conrad has been hired to work on Chris Murphy’s script. “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” star Taraji P. Henson stars as Dre’s mother. Produced by Jaden’s father, Will Smith, this drama film is scheduled to be released in U.S. on June 11, 2010.

While I suppose it’s commendable that the remake has been changed a bit from the original, I can’t help but feel that there are just too damn many remakes coming out these days. It’s as if every original idea has been exhausted and there is nowhere left to look for new films than to films that have already been made. I LOVE the original Karate Kid … even tho it’s hella cheesy to watch now … there is something about the original that seems almost holy. I can’t believe that this remake will surpass the original. It’s a cute idea but I don’t know that I’m at all interested in seeing the final product. What do y’all think … will you pay up to see this Karate Kid remake?
