Will Smith's son Jaden (Pursuit of Happiness) will star in the remake of 1984's "Karate Kid". Sources report that the film will be produced by Jerry Weintraub (who launched the original franchise) and Overbrook Entertainment’s James Lassiter, Will Smith and Ken Stovitz. The film will be shot next year in Beijing and other cities and will center around the original plot of a bullied youth who uses Karate to stand up for himself.

And the Wayans are working on a couple of interesting projects. One will be a new spoof movie (in the tone of "Scary Movie" etc) called "Dance Movie". The movie will star Marlon Wayans, Keenen Ivory Wayans, David Alan Grier, Kim Wayans, and Essence Atkins.

And it is rumored that Shawn and Marlon Wayans are re-making the sitcom "The Munsters" into a movie. I hear that they do not plan to re-do it with a black cast, but the twist will be that the family will be dealings with problems from 2008.
