The Karate Kid is one of the movies that we have all seen during our childhood, how could you forget ‘Wax on, wax off?’
But 2010 will see the movie get a 21st Century makeover with Jaden Smith, Will Smith’s son, in the central role alongside Jackie Chan.
Smith plays Dre who is forced to move to China after his single mother (Taraji P. Henson) is forced to transfer to the China for work.
Unable to speak Chinese, Dre finds it hard to settle in, and gets beat up by the local bully.
Jackie Chan takes on the role of Mr. Han, a maintenance man who spots Dre’s black-eye and offers to teach him both martial arts and Chinese, so he can defend against the students of Li Quan Ha’s Fighting dragon school of Kung-Fu.
Take a look at the first images from the film:
