The Film Wiz

The moment has finally come, the legendary Jackie Chan has stepped up to fill the shoes of everyone favorite mentor Mr. Miyagi in Columbia Pictures remake of The Karate Kid. Chan will team up with the upcoming Jaden Smith in the remake of the wax on wax off phenomenon. Keeping up  the overall plot the same, Director Harold Zwart has added a modern twist to the timeless classic about a boy who has to find the inner strength to stand up for himself and whats right and a man battling his past. This time around it is the student who is in the foreign land taking the fight to the Do-Jo’s of  China. Personally i think it’ll make for a better movie, having the student face difficulties culturally as well as socially.
