Here’s the trailer for the remake of the original Karate Kid (1984).  It stars Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan as his martial arts trainer.  Harald Zwart is directing, Jaden’s dad Will Smith is producing with wife Jada Pinkett, James Lassiter, Ken Stovitz, and Jerry Weintraub (he launched the original franchise).

According to Variety, “While the new film will be set in that exotic locale, it will borrow elements of the original plot, wherein a bullied youth learns to stand up for himself with the help of an eccentric mentor.”  The Karate Kid opens in theaters June 11.  The trailer looks fun, but will it live up to the original or Parts II, III, and The Next Karate Kid?
