Will Smith’s son Jaden could be the new ‘The Karate Kid’.

Jaden, who appeared with his father in ‘The Pursuit of Happyness’, is being tapped to star in the remake of the 1984 Oscar-winning movie.

Filming on the movie, which will be co-produced by Will Smith, starts next year in China.

Jaden will next hit movie screens in sci-fi remake ‘The Day The Earth Stood Still’.
