Will Smith and actor Jaden Smith arrive to the 2008 MTV Movie Awards on June 1, 2008 at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, CA.Us Magazine
The 10-year-old - who's currently a martial arts practitioner - starred with his dad in 2006's The Pursuit of Happyness.

The script, which is still being written, will be similar to the 1984 franchise, in which a bullied kid learns to stand up for himself with the help of his quirky karate coach, according to Variety.
But instead of Hawaii, the flick will be filmed in Beijing, China, in 2009. No release date is set.
Dad Will is to serve as producer.
The presidents of Columbia Pictures told Variety they wanted to resurrect the original film series, which starred Ralph Macchio. Hilary Swank appeared in 1994's The Next Karate Kid.
Jaden's next sci-fi drama, The Day the Earth Stood Still, hits theaters Dec. 12. It co-stars Keanu Reaves.
Mom Jada Pinkett Smith's animated movie, Madagascar 2, was the top earner at the box office over the weekend, raking in $63.5 million.

Lou OThis is retarded. I love Will Smith and his son, but to even remake this movie, I feel is a huge mistake. You can never replace the original cast with the actors they have lined up. What I would love to see, is a movie with the same feel as The Karate Kid but not a remake. For example why cant they have something like, Chozen seeing the error of his and taking on a student?report abuseposted March 3, 2009 4:47 PM PST
