  1. Uh-oh....

    I hope it's not over Smith wanting to install some of his "trademark" humor in the movie and Mostow(who's been working on this project for awhile) deciding it was better to leave.

    I'm a fan of Smith's but I'm getting tired of him having projects tailored to him. This script was considered one of the best unmade ones out there. Why not make it as is!! There should be no "tinkering" with it and ultimately there'd be no one leaving over "creative differences"!!!

  2. I heard him say that about Ali quite a bit...another "Bollywood" interview excerpt:

    Speaking about his performances Will said, "I think Ali was my best performance till date. I also enjoyed working on Bad Boys, we shot that in Miami and we had tons of fun there. My next release will be 'Pursuit of Happiness', which will release in a couple of months. My seven-year-old son is acting in it, too. I think we've both done a great job in the movie."

    since when is Dec. a couple mths. away from Feb.? lol makes you wonder if the release date has been pushed up a bit :hmm:

    If you read the link about attending the premiere, it says that the studio is considering moving up the release date. Which may be good for box office success(Dec. is crowded), but it may be a sign that Sony doesn't really view it as an Oscar movie anymore.

  3. And with Gabriele Muccino the film has an amazing director who is able to capture dramatic moments. In an interview on the italian Tv Coming Soon he talked about the movie, telling that he didn't want to "sell himself" to Hollywood, but when Will sent him the script he was amazed.

    Did he say anything else about the movie?

  4. I don't see what the fuss is about. If we claim Will is concentrating on movies so much, he should at least be winning them, not presenting them. IMO it's nothing to be proud of 'presenting an oscar'.... ohhhh that's a step in the right direction...

    It's just a public appearance he's making...but if you wanna win an oscar it helps to kiss butt a little. They want big stars to drive ratings, likely cause the movies nominated weren't big hits at the box office. Snub'em and they may get vindictive.

    "In other Oscar show news, Meryl Streep and Will Smith are the latest presenters to be named. Smith was a nominee for "Ali" in 2001, while Streep has two awards and 13 nominations, a record for actors. She costars in "A Prairie Home Companion," the upcoming film from this year's honorary Oscar recipient, Robert Altman."

  6. I'd love another Men in Black. The last one was disappointing, but there so much they could do with the material to make fun movies. I'd say do it, don't leave a bad tast in people's mouth.

    I always had a cool idea for a teaser to Mib III. It opens with Will and Tommy flashing that memory eraser from the series and saying "Forget the second one" and proceed to show stuff from the third. Something like that would be real funny!

  7. I think its just a matter of going from one level or career path to another with time. Sooner or later, he's gonna retire, but Will's got way too much energy to just sit at home. lmbo. Its in his blood, so it would only be natural for him to take his career to another whole direction. Who knows, it may be directing, or it may be teaching...

    peace,

    cookie

    Retire?!? He's only in his late 30's. He could keep on acting till he's an old, old man.

  8. I would be happy if anyone could tell me if they knew any good Will featurings on other artists albums.

    I've looked everywhere but it doesn't seem to be any. Do anyone know anything about the artists signed to Wills production company Overbrook?? :wiggle: And what happened to Tatyana Ali anyone know anything abut her??

    www.overbrookent.com

    Tatyana Ali was just in the recently released "Glory Road".

  9. I think it was the actual role in the film, and not so much Will's acting. A lot of Black people had trouble with that role, thinking the character was pretty much there to help Matt Damon's character. They complain about it in other film's too like "Green Mile" "Driving Miss Daisey", ect. They call it the "Magic Negro", an all wise black character that's main purpose is to help some misguided white person. Spike Lee has talked about it on numerous occasions.

    Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes took their traveling party to Miami, Fla., this weekend.

    The engaged pair, who spent Thursday dining, shopping and ice-skating in New York City to celebrate Holmes turning 27 on Dec. 18, arrived in Miami on Friday afternoon. Also in town: Will Smith (in the city to perform at the Y-100 Jingle Ball on Saturday) and wife Jada Pinkett Smith, Cruise's costar in the 2004 movie Collateral.

    Early Friday evening, sources say, Cruise watched Will Smith rehearse at The BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Fl.; later, Cruise, Holmes and the Smiths dined at Miami Beach eatery Barton G. The Restaurant.

    At about 1:20 a.m., the two couples hit the South Beach rock club Snatch, where they chilled for nearly an hour in a roped-off area on the second floor. Holmes, who is expecting her first child with Cruise, kept her arms around her fiancé, even hugging him from behind as they all left through a back door. (The next night, says a source, when a well-wisher asked why Holmes hadn't ridden the club's mechanical bull, Cruise joked, "If she wasn't pregnant, she would have been on the bull.")

    On Saturday, the four friends spent the afternoon on a private yacht touring the bay off the Florida coast, and stopped for lunch on the exclusive Fisher Island. Later, Cruise and Holmes headed to the BankAtlantic Center for the Jingle Ball. As they hung out backstage waiting for Will Smith's performance, they took photos with all who asked.

    Finally, Smith took the stage, arriving via a sleigh that "flew" over the audience on wires. After two songs, he brought out his wife and their daughter Willow, 5, as well as Cheryl Romero, whom he described as a woman "who had a tough time this year." He handed her several gifts, then said, "I have another Christmas present for you and the audience. I want to bring out someone who has never been to Miami before: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes."

    As the crowd exploded in applause, the couple walked out hand in hand. "How's it going?" Cruise asked the audience. "This is my first time in Miami and I love it. Is it always like this?" Smith replied, "It is every time I come here."

    "Then I can see why you keep coming back," Cruise said. Before he and Holmes left the stage, he added, "I'd like to wish you all a happy holiday and Merry Christmas and just a great year."

  11. I don't think you're going to see an interracial romance. I know a lot of us may be colorblind when it comes to this forum but the fact is that this country(the U.S.) still is not ready for an interracial romance in a movie - especially if it's a black man/white woman.

    * Will once said in an interview about Hitch that when he was considering his co-star that he couldn't choose someone who was white because America wasn't ready for it.

    * Denzel Washington caught a lot of flack for a love scene he did with Milla Jovovich(sp) in He Got Game.

    * Denzel also caused controversey when he wouldn't do a kissing scene with Julia Roberts in The Pelican Brief. The movie was based off the book and in the book Denzel & Julia's character become intimate. Julia wanted to do the scene but Denzel refused because he felt it would cause a major ruckus.

    The fact remains that in 2005 America still has problems with interracial romances. You may have seen white men with different races of women do well but rarely has a movie done well with a black man/white woman romance(and before anyone says what about Hitch, Eva Mendes is Latino). It is a shame that in 2005 we as a country still are divided by racial lines but it is the truth.

    Having said all of that - I'd love to see Gabrielle Union co-star with Will.

    All you said is true..So that's why I would like to see it. If there was a interracial romance in this movie and it's a big hit, then maybe Hollywood would change its thinking.

    No interracial romance then I'd like to see Regina Hall. She and Will were husband and wife in "Enemy of the State" but her role was pretty small. She's a good actress.

  12. when did will work with angelina?

    i would pick jada

    Sharktale

    I wouldn't pick Jada, no offense but I think it would cause complications and would be open to critisism. I dunno about interracial either, could cause more hate on Will in real life, even though we know in a film it's not actually him, but haters will not take that into account... Halle Berry sounds cool to me :2thumbs:

    Yea there would be complains, but I think it would be cool if the best actress was picked and the studio didn't worry about appealing to demographics.
