HOLLYWOOD - Actor Will Smith will be donning his director's cap for his next project--a remake of 1984's Karate Kid.

The Pursuit of Happyness star, 39, is reportedly working on a modern-day version of the martial arts movie, with his 9-year-old son Jaden taking on the lead role of Daniel, originally made famous by Ralph Macchio.

Smith Jr. will star alongside Rush Hour's Jackie Chan, who will play the boy's mentor, Mr Miyagi, according to reports.
