Sony Pictures is developing a remake of The Karate Kid that will be produced by Will Smith's Overbook Entertainment and Jerry Weintraub.
Will's 9-year-old son Jaden Christopher Syre Smith ("The Pursuit of Happyness") is apparently attached to star in the remake.
This new Karate Kid is currently out to writers. Weintraub also produced the 1984 film, starring Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita, and its three sequels.
THIS IS WHERE I HAVE A PROBLEM.
This Movie should not be remade without some involvement by Ralph Macchio.
We, the undersigned, call on the producers and writers of "The new Karate Kid" to play close attention to the fact that Mr.Miyagi taught Daniel son that the secret to Karate lies in the mind and heart, not in the hands.
And given that Pat Morita is now teaching the ways of Karate in the big dojo in the sky, leaves only Ralph Macchio to pass along his knowledge to the next generation of crane kickers. This "remake" should only be done if Ralph has a role in the film.
