What Would Mr. Miyagi Say?

No Smith son!

Will Smith's cutie son Jaden will ruin a classic in the remake of Karate Kid.

Variety magazine reported this rumor months ago and the script is being written just for Jaden. Hookups!

The 10-year-old - who's currently a martial arts practitioner - starred with his dad in 2006's The Pursuit of Happyness.

The script, which is still being written, will be similar to the 1984 franchise, in which a bullied kid learns to stand up for himself with the help of his quirky karate coach.

But instead of Hawaii, the flick will be filmed in Beijing, China, in 2009. No release date is set.

Dad Will is to serve as producer.

I'm interested to see what this remake will bring. I think Jaden is too young and too mini to be kicking ass as a Karate Kid. But whatever. Will and Jada are doing a really good job picking the right roles in major films for their kids to come up in. I wish them all the best. This Karate Kid remake will probably pull in thick dolla at the box office as much as I don't support the "idea."
