1st Look at The Karate Kid!

Some films are never meant to be messed with, remade, tampered with, whatever. I don't consider The Karate Kid quite on that list, but it's close. However, despite my protesting, the remake starring the junior Fresh Prince Jaden Smith(and produced by daddy Will) and martial arts legend Jackie Chan has continued. The film doesn't release until June, 2010 but People Magazine and Sony have released the first shots from the movie. They show Jaden in various training sequences, including one where he does a pretty bomb crane style kick. I gotta give it up to him for that. Word is he trained for 4 months for the role, and it definitely shows. Check out the photos, let us know what you think. Is this new Karate Kid gonna be a disaster or a welcome surprise?

Looks like Jaden might hook up with a little Asian chick, too. Hitch, Jr?
