Move Over Ralph

First Daniel Craig said that the next 007 should be black, and now the next Karate Kid actually will be black. Jaden Smith, the son of the former Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Will Smith, has signed on to star as the next Karate Kid (not to be confused with The Next Karate Kid. That movie sucked). Will's Overbrook Entertainment is producing (I smell a little bit of nepotism in the air (good word right)). There is no word yet of the return of Mr. Miyagi or the master of the crane himself, Ralph Macchio.

According to my various and extremely reliable sources (the internet), the new plot will be quite similar to that of the original Karate Kid, with a loser kid (Smith) getting beat up and turning to martial arts as a way to defend himself. Unlike the original however, this film will be shooting in Beijing and other foreign countries.

Will the Cobra Kai return as a group of douche-bag ninjas who feel the need to beat up on weaklings? Will Ralph Macchio become the teacher rather than the student? Will Macchio and Elisabeth Shue be the happy couple they were destined to be in the original? Will Jaden be able to wax floors and catch a fly with chopsticks? Will William Zabka be the father of the new bully reigning terror on various nerds and dweebs? These are all questions yet to be answered.
