Is it going to be about an elementary school tussle ending with a Battle of the Bullies tournament?

All we know is that Will Smith's son is playing the lead right? I hardly see how that is sufficient to assume that this movie will suck.

I'm well aware that remakes generally do suck, but I am at least willing to wait until more information is released before throwing this project into the "another worthless silly Hollywood remake" pile.

The movie will suck because it is not necessary. The orignial is one of my all time favorite movies. I grew up watching it and still love it. A remake is pointless, I don't care how "good" it may be. Ralph Macchio is the karate kid, not will smith jr. (or hilary swank).
