Ralph Macchio is the original Karate Kid. Jackie Chan starred in the shitty remake that Will Smith made for his son. And now the two of them are teaming up to find the next Karate Kid.
Sony Pictures is doing a worldwide search for a Chinese or mixed-race Chinese 15 to 17-year-old who speaks perfect English to play the lead role along with the two actors. It would be helpful if he speaks some Mandarin and is skilled in some martial arts, gymnastics, dance, and/or movement. However, acting experience is not required. But you must be available between March and June to film the movie.
If this sounds like you, your son, or a boy you know in your life, then go to KarateKidCasting.com to apply.
Personally, I think it is fucked up that they didn’t wait until Cobra Kai aired its final season to announce this.
