First Official Images of Jackie Chan & Jaden Smith in The Karate Kid
People Magazine, (via Cinematical) has revealed the first official images from The Karate Kid remake which is set to hit theaters on June 11, 2010. Originally thought to be The Kung Fu Kid, this is in fact a remake of the classic 80s staple film right down to the name. The film is slightly different in story though revolving around Dre (Smith), a skateboarding video game buff who moves to China after his single mother is forced to go there for work. Unable to speak Chinese, Dre finds it hard to settle in and gets beat up by the local bully. Chan plays Mr. Han, a maintenance man who spots his black-eye and offers to teach him both martial arts and Chinese so he can defend against the students at the nearby school of kung-fu.
