Will's on the chase
From Sydney Confidential
07jul04
MAN still in black, Will Smith, will visit Sydney this month to spruik his latest offering I, Robot.

So Chatswood shop owners and golf course greenkeepers, get your windows shining and bunkers ready.

The man who spent most of 2002 in Australia - and most of that cruising Chatswood Chase shops and golf course bunkers - hits town in two weeks.

The lanky Yank will be joining Australian director Alex Proyas (Garage Days) on a two-city tour to promote their big budget sci-fi flick.

The pair will kick of their 48-hour tour at the Sydney premiere at Fox Studios on July 19 before treading the red carpet in Melbourne.


Smith is a familiar face in Sydney, holidaying here early last year while his wife Jada Pinkett Smith filmed the Matrix sequels with the city's other adopted Hollywood star, Keanu Reeves.

He also briefly visited in June 2002 with his Men in Black II co-stars, Lara Flynn Boyle and Tommy Lee Jones for that film's premiere.

But it was he and Jada's affection for the Chatswood shops that shaped their last visit, according to a Matrix source: "Every minute they had off they spent at Chatswood Chase."

Sydney-based professional golfer Adam Wilcox said: "He loved Sydney and couldn't speak highly enough of it."

There is a chance Pinkett Smith will travel with her shopping buddy but it is believed she has other filming commitments.

I, Robot is about a society in which robots live alongside humans in a servile capacity and are both harmless and helpful.

The story centres on a technophobic police officer (Smith) who is called in to investigate a murder.

He believes the crime was committed by a robot and later uncovers a giant conspiracy.
