Well I'm happy about Horner scoring it but....IT'S NOT KARATE....IT'S KUNG FU! The filmmakers are a lite bit misinformed. Based on the trailer this remake takes place in China where they study Kung Fu not karate which is Japanese.
Sorry but having studied various martial arts for years this bugs me to no end.

I agree that we might be reaching an equalizing period in film scoring where R-C still exists but does not monopolize the landscape of film music as they did for the past 5-10 years. I think Horner will bring something interesting to the table. Heck, I'd be all for some second hand Tan Dun or Takemitsu. 
Seriously though, does anyone know why the hell they haven't changed the title to The Kung Fu Kid? This seems like a massive problem to me.

Yeah, likewise. As a student of Ishinryu Karate myself, I am thoroughly disgusted by this.
The only saving grace is that Horner's score might be good.
But I hope he doesn't use a shakuhachi in a Chinese setting!

When this trailer started, I was like, "Fuuuuuuuuuck you," but as it went on, I found myself actually wanting to see this. I know, I can't believe it either. I get the Karate vs. Kung Fu deal, but that's a well-made trailer (for once).

This score is going to be awesome. I bet Horner finds a way to do something we've never heard, but also make it familiar. Like AVATAR!

According to Reuters, here's how the deal got done...
The Smith family are travelling home after a family night out to see Avatar at the cinema.
While Jada Pinckett-Smith drives, Will Smith (aka Big Willie) has noticed his son (Little Willie) has been awfully quiet.
BW - "Hey son, you okay, you're awfully quiet tonight. Didn't you like the movie?"
LW - "Yeah dad, the movie was cool, but I've been gettin ripped at school"
BW - "You serious!! What for?"
LW - "Well the other kids at school are all laughing at me, sayin my new movie is gettin music from some crappy composer who uses his remote control to write his music"
BW - "But I thought all the kids were down with the Zimmer beats"
LW - "Well, little Billy Cameron laughed and said his dad gets James Horner to do his music, and that his films are the biggest, most successful films ever made"
BW - So what you're saying son, is that you want James Horner to score your new Kung Fu movie?
LW - Yeah, pretty much... is that okay?
BW - Leave it with me kid, what my boy wants, my boy gets!!!
...or maybe not
