So according to this article from Yahoo!, Will Smith is remaking Karate Kid with his son Jaden in the lead.

(How many P’s are in nepotism?)

Really Will?  Does this really seem like a good idea?  I mean remaking a movie that was good and cultish, but not really a movie gem.  After all, I don’t remember Ralph Macchio pulling in the Oscar for this one.  Did you not see what happened with The Bad News Bears??

Also, its nice to see that Will is already casting his son in the lead.  Ummm…What about auditions Will?  There’s got to be something in those SAGG contracts about auditions.  Not to bragg, but my brother had the Ralph Macchio hair cut back in the day, complete with the razored off sideburns.  I think he should be considered.  He can do a pretty mean crane kick too.  I mean, granted its not on a boat mooring on the beach, but he gets some pretty good extension.  Plus, he ain’t afraid to take a round house to the face or get his legged swept by a bad ass named Johnny.  But I guess because you two don’t share DNA, he ain’t gonna the job is he?

But hey, I’m sure Jaden will do just fine.  After all, he’s had all those great movies that aren’t starring or produced by you!  Ooops!  That’s right, without you, he’s just another (What’s that kids name from Jerry McGuire?)  Exactly.
