The remake of The Karate Kid just got a whole lot crazier with the news that Jackie Chan will take on the role of mentor Mr. Miyagi. The original 1984 pic starred Ralph Macchio as the bullied kid and Pat Morita as the “old one” who teaches him karate. Variety reports that the remake, which will star Will Smith’s son Jaden as the kid, will “borrow elements of the original plot” and will shoot this summer in Beijing. Guess the “old one” in the new Karate Kid is going to be a whole lot more active.
