The film is co-produced by Sony Corporation and China Film Group Corporation. The remake of the 1984 Hollywood film The Karate Kid started shooting in July of last year. All scenes were shot in China, including the sites at the Great Wall and Wudang Mountain in Hubei Province.
Plot:
The film tells the story of Dre Parker, a 12-year-old boy played by Jaden Smith, who could have been the most popular kid in Detroit, but his mother's latest career move has landed him in China. Dre immediately falls for his classmate Mei Ying - and the feeling is mutual - but cultural differences make such a friendship impossible. Even worse, Dre's feelings make an enemy of the class bully, Cheng. In the land of kung fu, Dre knows only a little karate, and Cheng puts "the karate kid" on the floor with ease. With no friends in a strange land, Dre has nowhere to turn but maintenance man Mr. Han, played by Jackie Chan, who is secretly a master of kung fu. As Han teaches Dre that kung fu is not about punches and parries, but maturity and calm, Dre realizes that facing down the bullies will be the fight of his life.
The Karate Kid is scheduled to hit screens worldwide on June 11.
