Will and Jada Pinkett Smith’s son Jaden has reportedly been lined up to star in a remake of the hit 1980s classic ‘The Karate Kid.’

The nine-year-old, who appeared alongside his Oscar-nominated father in ‘The Pursuit of Happyness,’ will play teenage martial arts Daniel Larusso, made famous by actor Ralph Macchio.

Sony Pictures has not indicated who will take on the role of Mr Miyagi, played by the late Pat Morita.
