Looks like Will Smith isn’t the only one in his family with a franchise film. Will’s son Jaden is set to star in the remake of the 1984 classic, Karate Kid. Also starring is martial arts master Jackie Chan. Along with a cast update the film itself will receive a modernized makeover starting with the new, hipper name – Kung Fu Kid. The character names too have received the same treatment. Mr. Miyagi is now Mr. Han and Daniel is now Dre. No word if Ralph Macchio or Hillary Swank (Karate Kid IV) will have any sort of cameo roles. The film is slated for a 2010 release.
