Tales of grave-robbing & nepotism in LA

Check this out. If your Dad's a Hollywood superstar, you don't just get a bike for Christmas. That won't cut it. Will Smith's irritating infant who pops up in his films is the focus of this tale. Say the kid - let's call him Lil' Will - is watching old movies on TV. Lil' Will comes across the Karate Kid. Lil' Will enjoys it, cos it's ace. Lil' Will's running around the house doing crane kicks or whatever.

Daddy Will, pausing momentarily from jiggy-ing, notices this. A normal father may enrol their kid in martial arts classes, or get the kid a copy of the movie so that he may enjoy it at his leisure. Not so Will. He buys the rights to the movie, and sets in motion a remake that Lil' Will can star in. Yes, Sony is developing a remake of The Karate Kid that will be produced by Will Smith's Overbook Entertainment.

More money than sense just doesn't cover it.

Thought Will Smith came out and said he had no plans for his son to star in it. Could be wrong. mAybe I dreamt that. My dreams aren't very exciting.
