Getting Into Character: Jaden Smith in Karate Kid Remake
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Columbia Pictures, Action, Drama, Remakes, Casting, Celeb News, Upcoming Releases
That’s not Daniel-san and that ain’t Mr. Miyagi, but that’s definitely The Karate Kid—or at least the the 2010 version of it.
For the martial arts reboot, Jaden Smith (The Pursuit of Happyness) worked out daily to play Dre Parker, an American boy who moves to China. “I trained every day for four months with Master Wu [the film’s fight coordinator],” the 11-year-old told People.
Fortunately, Jaden had the real-life mentoring of Jackie Chan (Mr. Han) to get him through the overseas shoots. “Jackie taught me to ask, ‘My left or camera left?’” Smith recalled about filming.
The Karate Kid opens June 11, 2010, the same day as another remake: The A-Team.
