Hold onto your headbands Miyagi fans, this one’s going to hurt. Columbia Pictures is preparing to remake The Karate Kid, with Jaden Smith in the lead role. Will Smith’s kid is going to replaced Ralph Macchio in The Karate Kid. The kid from Pursuit of Happyness is going to fight Cobra Kai. Nope, no matter how you put it, it still sounds like shit.
I’m not sure who, outside of the Smith family, thinks this is a good idea. I like Will Smith a lot. I liked Pursuit of Happyness, and thought Jaden was fine. So my problem isn’t necessarily with him. It’s more with the entire concept.
The original is a timeless classic which is every bit as watchable today as it was in 1984. Its message still stands today. It’s not like bullies have disappeared, or that hard work and discipline are have become unnecessary. In other words, THERE IS NO REASON TO REMAKE THIS MOVIE.
