Jackie Chan stars as Mr. Han in "The Karate Kid," the remake of the 1984 classic, also starring Jaden Smith. The film was released on June 11 by Sony Pictures.  

Chan felt a particular affinity for the story, as he admits he can actually relate to the young American character.  “I understand the fish out of water story,” he says.  “About 30 years ago, I went to America for the first time by myself. When you’re in a completely different culture, it’s very frightening.”

Jaden Smith stars as Dre Parker in "The Karate Kid," the remake of the 1984 classic, also starring Jackie Chan. The film was released on June 11 by Sony Pictures.

Jay and Mark Duplass are the writers/directors of "Cyrus," starring John C. Reilly and Jonah Hill. The film is being released by Fox Searchlight on June 18. 

Working with Jay and Mark Duplass has always been a unique experience for both cast and crew members, and the brothers saw no reason to change their idiosyncratic approach for their first Hollywood film. Their unconventional methods ranged from shooting the script in chronological order to allowing the actors to develop their own dialogue and blocking. Even the most experienced hands were surprised and energized by it.
