Will
Smith Confirms Son Will Play Karate Kid
12/13/07
Will Smith's actor son Jaden is to revive the Karate Kid franchise two
months after the Men in Black star's publicists denied reports.
The young Pursuit Of Happyness star is in talks with film executives
about the role.
His proud father confirms, "I met with a couple of people in
China. We're looking to potentially shoot in China."
The original Karate Kid films, starring Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita,
became cult family viewing in the mid-to-late 1980s. Oscar winner Hilary
Swank starred in a fourth film, The Next Karate Kid in 1994.
