Will Smith’s Son A Karate Kid

Will Smith‘s son Jaden Smith is being geared up for stardom as he takes on the lead role in a remake of The Karate Kid.

Last year it was denied that the 10-year-old will be starring in a remake of the 1984 classic, but now it has been confirmed the young actor will indeed be in the movie.

Variety reports that Jerry Weintraub, who launched the original franchise, will produce the movie alongside James Lassiter, Ken Stovitz and of course Will Smith.

Chris Murphy will write the script and shooting is set to begin next year in Beijing and some others cities, it will follow the same plot as the original by following a young kid who is bullied but learns to fight back from his mentor.

Jaden has starred in The Pursuit of Happyness with his father and can be next seen in The Day The Earth Stood Still, alongside Keanu Reeves.
