Sony Pictures is moving forward on “Karate Kid 2,” a sequel to the surprise 2010 box office hit, with Breck Eisner in the director’s chair, Deadline.com first reported.
Chan and Smith, who will reprise their roles from the “Karate Kid” remake of the 1984 cult classic, provided the muscle in the 2010 version that earned $343 million worldwide at the box office.
A sequel had been announced immediately after the last installment’s $56 million opening weekend — but news of any progress had been sparse ever since.
Eisner, the director behind the “The Crazies” remake, takes over behind the camera for Harold Zwart.
