The Karate Kid is a remake that I most definitely oppose, but I know I can’t stop it. At any rate, People Magazine has given us a first look at Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan in this first promotional photo for the film.
You would think that they would at least give us an action shot. I mean, they are sitting in a booth for crying out loud! At the very least, People claims that Smtih has “mastered front kicks and upper blocks through his hard work ethic and dedication” while training for the film.
Jaden says he trained for four months and Chan insists that Jaden “took the training very seriously. I was impressed with him.”
Have a look at the full photo below.

This remake has made a few changes from the original. First of all, the film is now set in China rather than California and the character of Daniel, now a bit younger, has been renamed to Dre. Also, Chan will not playing Mr. Miyagi, but instead he is now called Mr. Han. Surprisingly, these seem to be the most significant changes they have made.
Look for the The Karate Kid in theaters on June 11, 2010.
