Karate Kid 2010 (Kung Fu Kid) Jaden Smith what story is it based on?
Is the new film starring Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan based of the novel Fledgling Jason Steed.
My teacher said it is, the book was awesome, but if that’s the case, why is it not called Fledgling Jason Steed. We have already got a Karate Kid movie?
No, Unfortunately its not. Its a remake of the original Karate Kid movies.
Jaden Smith (Will Smiths son) has the main role. Jackie Chan plays the mentor.
The plot is different, in the original Karate Kid, his mother moves to CA for work. (played by Taraji P. Henson
In Karate Kid 2010 she moves to China for work.
There is NOT yet a movie planned for Fledgling Jason Steed although a newspaper claimed it as being made by Pinewood studios.

The Karate Kid 2010 movie will be released in the US in June 2010. The name of the film has not been chosen yet, it has be called Karate Kid 2010 and Kung Fu Kid. They may give it a new title and stick with one of those.
According to Jackie Chans website it is called Karate Kid 2010.
The only similiar connection to Fledgling Jason Steed and King Fu Kid is the Character played by Jackie Chan.
In Fledgling Jason had a mentor Wong Tong, who was very eccentric and funny. Chan is using many of the same features of the character from the Jason Steed novel.
The novel Fledgling Jason Steed was first published in 2008, the screen writing for the Kung Fu Kid film was written early 2009 after the sucess of the book. You have to make your own mind up if you think they stole the character from Fledgling Jason steed.

According to IMDB.com the title of the film is Kung Fu Kid as you have stated above, not Karate Kid:Kung Fu or anything of the such, I would say this movie is loosely based on the same storyline (troubled kid needs mentor, mentor shows up in form of martial arts master) rather than saying it’s Karate Kid 4. IMHO
