Britain’s The Daily Mail has your first look at Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith on the set of their “Karate Kid” remake, since redubbed “The Kung Fu Kid”. Frankly, they should have called it that in the first place and just don’t ever mention the “Karate Kid”...

It’s official: The AP says Will Smith has arrived in Beijing, China to begin production on his remake of the 1980s movie “The Karate Kid”. The remake will be called “Kung Fu Kid”, and will star Smith’s kid Jaden as the titular kid, and Jackie Chan as the old Chinese...

The “Karate Kid” remake (or “Kung Fu Kid”, or whatever it ends up being called eventually) is apparently so deep and insightful, one writer wasn’t enough to delve into all the questions that the characters ponder throughout the movie, such as: if the Chinese dude who works...

It used to be that I minded remaking “The Karate Kid”, mostly because I remember watching and loving the film with a bunch of friends as kids. We were so captivated by it that we immediately ran outside and started crane-kicking each other in the stomach. Ah, good times. So yes, I don’t...

By now you probably now that Will Smith is remaking “The Karate Kid” with his own kid as the star. You also know that Jackie Chan will play the Mister Miyagi character, and that the remake will take place in Beijing, China. And since Smith has gone out of his way to even call up the former...

Okay, so maybe Ralph Macchio, the original star of “The Karate Kid” didn’t exactly say that, but you gotta admit, that’s a better headline than, say, “Ralph Macchio Is Not Happy About Remake”. I mean, where’s the uummph in that? Anyways, it appears Ralph Macchio...

I’m pretty sure Will Smith is a great guy and all that, but you gotta figure that his kid Jaden Smith will grow up and go either of two ways: so industry-savvy that he’ll do just as well as Dad, or so effed up because he’s never had to work for a thing in his life, including fame and...

Last year when it was first rumored that Will Smith would be putting his kid in a remake of the 1984 movie “The Karate Kid”, people were understandably puzzled. For one, Smith’s kid, Jaden, was, well, a kid, and the original character was a teenager. Later, Smith seemed to dispel the...

All these rumors around the proposed Will Smith remake of “The Karate Kid” is just getting plain silly. First there were rumors that Smith was going to shove his own kid down our throats in an act of grand nepotism by making the kid the titular karate kid, but then his press people denied...

Not long ago it was said that Will Smith was eyeing a remake of the 1980s classic “The Karate Kid”, and that he would produce the film. Then some people said he would also direct it, making it his directorial debut, which I found to be lacking in validity. Big-time movie stars never direct...

Wait, so Will Smith’s son Jaden Smith is NOT going to be the male lead in the upcoming “Karate Kid” remake? Apparently so, or at least according to Pr-Inside, who doesn’t really quote anyone you could call “credible”. According to the site, Smith won’t just be...

Here’s a question: If you’re going to remake “The Karate Kid”, why in the world would you want to do it with an actual kid — that is, someone who isn’t a teenager as was the case in the original movie starring Ralph Macchio? That’s just stupid. But hey, maybe...
