THE KARATE KID remake trailer, with Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan

Initially I was against the idea of this remake, but after seeing this new trailer, I can honestly say I’m intrigued.  Let’s face it, Jaden Smith comes from good acting genes.  His father (Will Smith) and mother (Jada Pinkett-Smith) are both phenomenal at what they do, so it’s probably safe to say some of that rubbed off onto him.  I can say I liked him in THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS.  So Jaden and Jackie Chan (the new Mr. Miyagi) take the fight overseas this time.  I think the trailer is promising, let’s hope the movie delivers!
