The Karate Kid - Trailer

So if you haven't heard Will Smith is doing a remake of the Karate Kid and He is using his son Jaden as the main character, Dre Parker, and Jackie Chan as the Mr. Miyagi figure, Mr. Han.  I have yet to see anything on this, but I just found the trailer.  Should be exciting.  Click the link to see the Trailer.

Watch the Trailer

Release Date: 11 June 2010
Genre: Action | Drama

Plot:
Work causes a single mother to move to China with her young son; in his new home, the boy embraces kung fu, taught to him by a master.

The remake isn't an exact copy, but I wasn't sure how they were going to do that anyway.  It seems like they are taking the most important elements and modernizing them, and making the story cross-cultural.  So far what I see I like.  Although there was one part in the trailer where Chan's character says the only way to stop them is to face them.  I'm pretty sure Mr. Miagi would never have said that.  He was the world's ultimate pacifist.  The main character seems a little young to me too.  I mean, Daniel Larusso was a high school kid, Dre Parker is probably just reaching middle school.  I don't know if I will see this in theatres because I don't have an unlimited budget, but I guarantee you that I will see it eventually.
