Karate Kid Still Kicking Butt

First Footloose, now the Karate Kid. My childhood favorites being remade! What’s next? Maybe Girls Just Want to Have Fun!

When I spoke to Kevin Bacon about Footloose (see past blog) he couldn’t believe it was old enough to be re-made! I can’t believe it either! “Kung-Fu Kid” is about to start shooting in China. Its stars Jaden Smith– the son of Will and Jada who will produce.

Ralph Twittered :

“Just wrote young J Smith a good luck note as they head off 2 shoot. Felt very Obi-Wan to Skywalker. I’m no longer 1 of the ‘2 youts’ haha.”

See, he’s funny! Get the My Cousin Vinny joke?

Here’s what he told me about the remake.

Doesn’t he look great! He doesn’t age. He was so sweet. Fresh Prince, give the original kid a cameo!!!!
