15 Announced Movies That Will Probably Never Happen
6. The Karate Kid 2
What We Know: After 2010's Jaden Smith-starring remake turned in almost ten-times its budget at the box office, a sequel was inevitable, and announced the very same month of its release. Smith and Jackie Chan are both expected to return for a sequel to be directed by Breck Eisner (The Crazies, The Last Witch Hunter)
Why It Won't Happen: Within a year or two it'll be a bit of stretch to call Jaden Smith a kid, and it really feels like the ship has sailed on this one. For a movie of this kind, such a long passage of time is just too weird, considering it probably should've been cranked out within like two years of the "original".
Plus, Smith hasn't acted in a theatrically-released movie since 2013's disastrous After Earth, which may have hurt his standing with studios as a box office draw.
