Karate Kid Remake Trailer (2010)

I like Karate Kid movies and watched each release as a “kid”. Now they are working on a remake of this classic – typical Hollywood. Everything that makes it must be milked out of its effin mind. Never the less, I’m looking forward to the 2010 Karate Kid Remake. And if it wasn’t for atrociously awful music in the trailer, I’d totally drool to it. The presence of Jackie Chan kind of ruins it a bit, but otherwise the trailer does have some merit to it so I predict a rather well done movie.

Karate Kid remake stars Jaden Smith as the “karate kid” and above mentioned Jackie Chan as Mr. Miyagi type karate mentor called Mr. Han. The story revolves around the kid who moves with his mother to Beijing, China where he quickly becomes a victim of bullying. His struggle is noticed by an eccentric kung fu tutor who takes upon himself a task to teach the kid karate so he can stand up for himself and fight the bullies back. yes, I did say Kung Fu instead of Karate and I’m sure martial arts experts will agree with me that the combat art presented in the Karate Kid Remake Trailer below is in fact Kung Fu. But SONY cares nothing about that. They’re just looking to milk the story which has “Karate” in its title so they are following the trend that leads to box office success. As a fan of martial arts, I find it ironic, but as someone who understands show business, the reasoning behind it makes perfect sense.

Anyway, the 2010 Karate Kid Remake Trailer is below. The movie is directed by Harald Zwart who also directed The Pink Panther 2 and the script was written by Michael Soccio. The remake of Karate Kid will hit the theaters near you on June 11th, 2010. The remake will not top the original, that’s for sure, but it could be a fun movie to watch. I will probably go to see it.

The pictures above has the official mascots of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games -Fuwa, and just as Olympic rings each come in its own color, so do Beibei, Jingjing, Huanhuan, Yingying and Nini. They are five little children symbolize friendship and represent four most popular Chinese animals (fish, panda, Tibetan antelope, and swallow) and one is a flame representing Olympic flame. You may notice that their names are made of repeated syllables. If you break those names each in half, you will get Bei Jing Huan Ying Ni which in Chinese means – Welcome to Beijing. Beautiful.

Below is the video of the official song for 2008 Olympic Games which is also titled Welcome to Beijing. The song features many popular and famous Chinese people. You may see Jackie Chan as well as reigning Miss World – Zi Lin Zhang

Following is the unofficial translation of song’s lyrics. It’s a beautiful song.

Welcome to Beijing – Official Song for 2008 Olympic Games – Lyrics

Another morning is here, and a breath of fresh air comes with it
We will be friends forever, sticking together lik fragrance of green tea
You will find my door open for you at all times, and I’ll be waiting for you with my arms open
You’ll get to know me much better once you hugged me, and I promise you will love it here

Please be my guest no matter whether you’re local or from abroad
You are here and you are a friend, and as a friend we welcome you
I want to grow green plants that I will plant in the soil
and will show you our legends so you leave with good memories

You are all my guests, both strangers and friends so please make yourself feel at home
There is always a lot to talk about even if we meet often

Welcome to Beijing, we will show you a place you haven’t yet seen
Charming of Beijing is full of life
Come to Beijing, we can breathe fresh air in the sunshine together
And we both will leave our mark in this yellow soil

My door will always be open and welcoming to the world
The days of the past are welcoming new day with a youthful smile
We are all friends, please come in and make yourself at home
I am waiting for you here with a smile on my face

Welcome to Beijing, may this music touch your soul
Let’s work together and go over and beyond
Welcome to Beijing, to have a dream is great
If you remain brave, the miracles will happen
