Does it count as news if everyone kind of already knows it? Deadline reports [via using their common sense] that Sony Pictures is taking pitches for The Karate Kid 2 after The Karate Kid remake smashed box office expectations and made back its entire budget in one weekend. While I would much rather see Jackie Chan Hates Karate Kids, it looks like we'll have to settle for another round of Jaden Smith doing roundhouse kicks. I didn't see the remake, but I don't think I'd like it because I was told that no one says "Sweep the leg, Johnny."
Sony Pictures Moves Forward on THE KARATE KID 2
Sony Pictures is moving forward on a sequel to the "The Karate Kid" remake after it grossed $56 million this weekend. The film stars Jaden Smith.
