Karate Kid Remake: First Still Images Released

The Karate Kid remake is still live and ‘kicking,’ and Jaden Smith, the son of one of the most popular Hollywood actors; Will Smith, shows that he can ‘kick it’ with the first still images to be released of the film.

We all know what ‘The Karate Kid’ is, we either all grew up with it, or watched it with our children, and at some point in your life, you will probably show it to your children, but do you think the new remake will live up to the ‘wax on, wax off’ potential of the original, and do you think that Jaden Smith will fill Ralph Maccihio’s shoes?

The current plot is “Dre,” the son of a single mother who has to relocate to China due to her job description, when he meets Mr Han, who is played by Jackie Chan. There, he is taught karate, and becomes friends with Mr Han, who takes over from the orginal Mr. Miyagi.

According to Empire Online, the movie is set to be released on July 16, 2010. To see more pictures, check the source below.

From the pictures, it looks as though this could be a potential box-office hit, but what do you think about the remake, and the casting of Jaden Smith?
