So we’ve spoke about The Karate Kid remake movie. Most people still have their doubts about the movie, maybe because they have such a high expectation about it. I mean Pat Morita vs Jackie Chan… Pat Morita IS Mr. Miyagi!! However, this is a remake of the movie, or as a new word running around in the entertainment business, a reimagining of the film. So, we’re all just waiting with high expectations of the film, as we had with Star Trek.
This new trailer that has just been released, pays a bit of an homage to the original film. If you’re a Karate Kid fan, then you might appreciate the use of some of the elements shown through this film. I myself enjoyed the soundtrack bit. here you are Enjoy.
The film stars Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith. Instead of keeping it in America as the original film, they’re taking it to China. Jaden Smith’s character will not be learning karate but Kung Fu, taught by Jackie Chan. It uses the same formula of the film’s predecessors; a kid moves to a new town, gets bullied, falls for a girl (or guy in The Next Karate Kid) and finds a mentor who teaches them self control and how to defend themselves and in the end good prevails and all good things the kid’s worked for comes to them. So I won’t be surprised if the film is a bit predictable, but I believe that this new uo can bring something new to the table. At least, I am hoping for it.
The Karate Kid is released in theaters Summer, June 11, 2010.
