This article says it's a remake of the very awesome, iconic, inspiring The Karate Kid...but I seriously hope not.

Hopefully, they don't mess with the classic at all.

Hmm, Chan in the serious role of Mr. Myagi....we'll see how that works out.

Since this seems to be the age of remakes, I'm kind of interested to see how they approach this.

This has been in the works for a while. Glad to see it's moving along.

Takes place in Beijing? Is it being shot in English? Three month shoot? That's seems pretty short. I'm a little disappointed that it doesn't take place in Reseda again, as I live nearby.

Oh, well, I'm sure it'll be well written and relatable. I just hope all the elements work well together.

From what I understand, Jaden has been training in martial arts for quite a while and has been focusing on kung fu recently.

Should be good.
