Jackie Chan is officially playing Mr. Miyagi in the new remake The Karate Kid.

Jackie Chan will play the wise kung-fu master in a Hollywood-Chinese remake of the 1984 hit “The Karate Kid” that kicked off filming in the Chinese capital at the weekend, a movie company publicist said Monday.

Chan’s young disciple in “Kung Fu Kid” will be played by Jaden Smith, the son of Hollywood superstars Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, China Film Group spokesman Weng Li told The Associated Press in a phone interview.

I still think this is a bad idea, as much as I love Jackie Chan. I really hope it has some sort of new spin on it.
