I admittedly thought the initial trailer for THE KARATE KID was pretty intriguing. Now there’s a newer trailer, going a little deeper into the Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan relationship. This is definitely one of those films that I initially expected to be a disaster, but seeing the way Chan is playing Miyagi serious, and that fact that Taraji P. Henson is in it (who I love), I have high hopes for it. Will Jaden Smith be able to redeem his performance in THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL remake? We’ll find out when Columbia Pictures releases it on June 11, 2010.
