Wax on for Jackie Chan; The Karate Kid Remake Trailer

Never heard of it, but I'm glad I came across to this trailer by chance on Youtube. Why does the film industry keep doing this remakes? Maybe they run out of good ideas. But who cares? As long as they entertain me, nothing can stop me watching them. One thing is for sure, eventhough how many times they try to redo it, we just can't help it to remember the original and memorable characters. I mean who could forget Mr. Miyagi? Everytime we talk about Karate Kid, Pat Morita's character comes into play.

This remake casts Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith as teacher and student respectively. The set is in China and the kid is learning kung fu instead of karate. Jackie chan has told interviewers that it will only called "The Karate Kid" in America and "The Kung Fu Kid" in Asia. It will contain lots of homages to the original film, such as the famous fly catching scene. Does it mean we could see Jackie Chan doing wax on, wax off thing? See the trailer for yourself.
