The Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith sequel to The Karate Kid is moving forward. News has recently hit that Columbia Pictures has hired Zak Penn (The Incredible Hulk, X-Men: The Last Stand) to re-write the script for the movie. As much as I was biased against the original remake of the film, I ultimately and surprisingly ended up liking it. It was a very well-made film. It's not better than the original, but it was still very entertaining. If you haven't seen it yet I suggest you check it out, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

The movie made over $359 million dollars worldwide, and we knew a sequel was coming. As of right now there are no plot details, but the two stars of the first film are expected to reprise their roles. I think Penn will do a fine job taking on the script for the film and might be able help create a sequel that could be better than the first.

It looks like Harald Zwart will be back to direct the sequel, and in a previous interview with comingsoon he had this to say about the sequel:

I remember just watching Jaden and Jackie on and off camera and thinking, 'They're such a good movie couple.' They're just a good two characters I think. I definitely think we can take these two people somewhere else, but that's all up to the success. I'm open for anything.

Sony Pictures has hired Breck Eisner to direct returning stars Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith in The Karate Kid 2.

Eisner is probably best known for delivering the 2010 horror film The Crazies starring Timothy Olyphant. Not exactly a 1-to-1 comparison between that film and The Karate Kid, but apparently Sony thinks Eisner is a good fit to helm their sequel.

Since the first Karate Kid hit back in (coincidentally) 2010, Sony has been trying to get a sequel off the ground, first with two Kung Fu Panda screenwriters and then with Incredible Hulk writer Zak Penn, but things hadn’t evolved much beyond that. Now, Sony is seemingly looking to get the project back on track and rolling.

Eh, didn't like the first one. Tbh kinda tired of Will Smith saturating the market with his talentless children.

[BerenTebogo]

Read the above as "taintless children."

Presented without comment.

I liked the first one up until the CGI kick at the end lol.

Pretty much this. Willing to overlook it though, I think they work great together.

[Abandon]

somebody get this niglet out of movies, he's fucking awful

[Melena]

He was decent in Karate Kid, but then again he had Jackie Chan to mentor him. If you can't have a good movie with Jackie, you fail as an actor.

Will Smith gonna go broke buying all those movies for his son that no one wants to see
