http://www.collider.com/2010/03/23/will-smith-to-head-to-the-city-that-sailed-or-suit-up-again-for-men-in-black-3/ It looks like Will Smith has narrowed his many possible projects down to The City That Sailed or Men in Black 3. After over a year of speculation, Variety reports that the actor will likely make one of the projects his next feature. While, the plot of MIB 3 is unknown, we all know what kind of movie it will be: sci-fi action-adventure. But The City that Sailed is an adventure-fantasy we first reported on back in July of last year. Here’s what I wrote about back then: Written by Andrew Niccol, the story follows a New York City street magician whose daughter, because of family circumstances (read: Daddy likes the whores), lives in England. In exploring a lighthouse one day, the girl discovers a room with magic candles and wishes to be reunited with her father, causing the island of Manhattan to break away and drift across the Atlantic, the magic candles apparently not having access to priceline.com or any comparable service. I guess the other option is that she could just walk across…if it’s not too deep.

Nothing official has been said yet. It's all rumors right now. One site posted insider info about actors being considered for roles, and other sites began speculating that Jones and even Smith were being replaced in the movie.

I believe the writer was trying to be funny and make fun of Will's movies.

The one thing that interest me about this, is that it would be cool to see Will play a villianous character. That's a good idea to go against his positive image, just not in a Hitchcock remake.

Awful idea... http://www.latinoreview.com/news/exclusive-hitchcock-s-suspicion-being-remade-9308 "Hola Chicos, Pinche Taco here with the latest blatherings de nada de los Ninos de Hollywood! I've heard some crazy things in my time. For example, one of them was when an A List director started a company designed to just remake perfectly good horror films. That became Platinum Dunes. They remake films like Amityville Horror and Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the 13th, and the remakes are not as good as the originals. Sure the producers make money. Pero how do they sleep en la noches? From what I can tell, they messed up the Freddy remake too. These guys even wanted to redo Rosemary's Baby. I mean, chingate, right? I only bring them up because they are attached to remake THE BIRDS. Now remaking Hitchcock es estupido. Just ask Gus Van Sant You can be LIKE Hitchcock, which is what Brian De Palma does for a living. But don't remake el hermano. There is no point. The movies work as it is. Well the latest report from El Taco Supremo has Will Smith getting ready to produce and star in a remake of Hitchcock's SUSPICION. Will is planning to play the Cary Grant part. Que un chiste! If you never saw the original, lady marries a guy she falls head over hills with, but el mujer spends too much time at home and starts to wonder if hubby is a killer. She soon becomes convinced of it. And dig it, the audience gets to wonder if he is or if she is crazy. Now in the original book, called BEFORE THE FACT, he is a killer. Hitch was forced to make it like he wasn't. Will will probably have it all blamed on poor Xenu! Anyways, this is supposed to end up at Paramount, the studio that doesn't have that many films even happening anymore, but hey, they have Will's fellow Hubbard chum Cruise in Mission Unwatchable 4 so I am sure they are happy. RKO is the company that owns the rights but I am not sure what they have to do with this. See they went out of business in 1958 but haven't realized it! Yo soy El Taco y yo digo adios!" You don't remake Hitchcock, he's one of the masters. If true, this will make uproar about the Karate Kid remake look like nothing.

This is the movie I want to see most from Will. Him and Denzel together would be great. Sadly, though Denzel is gearing up for a run on Broadway , so it would be awhile till they could start fiming.

If Will doesn't start shooting something soon, it's gonna be two years without Will Smith. Just pick a damn movie already! Anything! Hell, how about a prequel to Seven Pounds? We can see the events leading up to the fateful texting accident, or how his love affair with jellyfish started.

I'm sorry comments like this just flame the fire of people who hate Will, and I can't blame them for this one. What qualifies Will to be president? You want to help the world? Fine, donate some of your vast wealth. Pick a cause and promote it. However, quite trying to tell people how to live their lives and what's wrong with the world. I don't want to sound critical or cynical, but I'm tired of the generic inspiration quotes in every interview and over the top positvie message movies like Seven Pounds. Find a good script, work with top talent, and make a good movie! Hell, even releas an albulm and stop the constant humanitarian stuff.

Men in Black 3. The first one is a favorite of mine, and I would like to see them erase the bad feeling of the second one. If not, then that movie he's been talking about doing with Denzel. At this point, though just about anything would be nice. It's been a whole year and unless he starts filming something soon, we won't have a movie in 2010 either.

I'm getting a little tired of the kids, especially Jaden...Sorry, had to say it.

That's a bad idea, the role was done to perfection by Cliff Robertson already. You're not gonna win an oscar in a role that sombody already won an oscar for.

What?!? That was a bunch of nonsense! Nobody would of felt bad about an Independence Day sequel because of Bush, they would of felt bad about a totally unnecessary sequel.

I'd like another Bad Boys first, but I'd take a Men in Black III. The first one is great and the second one isn't that bad. I do think they should get a new director then Barry Sonnenfeld. Will needs to make some choices, though. He can't do sequels to Men in Black, Bad Boys, Hancock, Independence Day, and a prequel to I am Legend. He doesn't want to become Eddie Murphy!

I was able to get access to the script for 'City that Sailed" If anybody wants it give me your email. It's a silly script filled with cliches and cheesey moments, but it also has great action and would have real "wow" moments with incredible visuls, if the fx guys pull it off. In this version, the main character is big shot in New York's homland security. He is separate from his wife and young daughter who live in Spain, and his wife is about to marry a big soccer superstar named Javier. His daughter makes a wish on a magic snowglobe that her father and mother would be reunited, and then the island of Manhattan breaks off and sails away toward Spain!

Maybe our prays are answered! http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3if39271c89709c28eceb20163c74fc6f4 Columbia Pictures is developing a third installment of the high-octane "Bad Boys" franchise, tapping Peter Craig to pen the screenplay. The hope is to have a script that would reunite director Michael Bay, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. At this point, with the project in the early stages, none has a deal to return. The "Boys" movies feature Smith and Lawrence as Miami detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett, caught up in cases involving car chases and explosions. The first "Boys," released in 1995, helped launch Bay as a director and Smith as an action star even though it was not a fire-stamped blockbuster -- it grossed $66 million domestically and $141 million worldwide. The sequel, released in 2003 when Bay and Smith's stars had risen, grossed $138 million domestically and $273 million worldwide. All parties have expressed a willingness to return if a story can be hammered out. One potential hurdle, however, would be the costly deals with the players. Craig, repped by CAA and Management 360, co-wrote "The Town," which Ben Affleck is directing for Warner Bros. and which shoots in Boston next month. He is adapting anime "Cowboy Bebop" for 20th Century Fox and Keanu Reeves.

I'd rather have another Men in Black or Bad Boys, but I'm not totally against Hancock 2. I rather see it than an I am Legend Prequel, The Last Pharaoh, or that City that Sails movie. Like alot of Will's movies lately it was good and entertaining until it fell apart with the climax, but it was a very good premise. Hopefully, with all the orgin stuff being out of the way, we can get back to Hancock struggling with not being an asshole and destroying things while saving people.

That sounds really awful. Though, its from the writer of "The Truman Show" which was great! However, I really want Will to work with better directors!!!! It's getting really frustrating!

I think I remember reading something the Will wanted to do a remake with Denzel of "Uptown Saturday Night". It's an old 70's action/comedy that starred Sidney Poitier and Bill Cosby as two guys who go to a night club and get robbed. One of them had a winning lottery ticket, so they have to track down the thieves and get it back.

Looks like Will may also star in this one... http://www.nola.com/news/?/base/news-1/124....xml&coll=1 Hollywood to tell story of Katrina hero Will Smith may play ex-Marine who saved lives at American Can Thursday, May 21, 2009 By Elizabeth Mullener Staff writer John Keller, the 6-foot-7-inch ex-Marine who rescued 244 of his neighbors at the American Can Company apartments and emerged as one of the heroes of Hurricane Katrina, will be the subject of a feature film expected to star Will Smith as Keller. Wednesday's announcement by Sony Pictures Entertainment and Overbrook Entertainment did not include casting, but Overbrook executive Jeff Sommerville confirmed to The Times-Picayune that Smith, the Hollywood box-office titan whose recent credits include "Hancock," "Ali" and "The Pursuit of Happyness," is likely to play Keller. As one of the principal owners of Overbrook, Smith also is co-producing the film. The movie, now in development, will be written and directed by John Lee Hancock, who directed "The Rookie" and "The Alamo," wrote an original screenplay for Clint Eastwood's "A Perfect World" and adapted "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" for the big screen. Along with Overbrook and Sony, producers include Back Door Films headed by Adetoro Makinde, an independent filmmaker. "It puts a knot in my throat," the normally sardonic and brash Keller said from his apartment at the American Can Company, where he still lives. Resourceful in the aftermath of Katrina, when the Mid-City apartment complex took on thigh-deep water and menacing visitors threatened some of the handicapped and elderly people who lived there, Keller used the sheer power of personal authority to face down the crisis and keep the building calm and controlled. "I was able to affect so many people," he said. "It wasn't just the people I got out of the building but everybody who valued those people, too." For more than a year and a half, Keller has been flying back and forth from Mid-City to Hollywood, as the movie project was being negotiated. In September 2007, he met with Smith. "I looked Will Smith in the eye," Keller recalled, "and I said, 'You want to play me in the movies?' He said, 'Yeah. Not only am I going to play you; I'm going to bring it.' " Sony's announcement did not include a production start date. Sommerville said at least some of the movie will be shot in New Orleans, and Keller said he has been promised a part in it. "When I came back after Katrina and talked to the old people I had saved, they all said God was going to bless me, I'm going to receive my blessing," Keller said. "Well, I guess this is it."

Wow, that sounds like a horrible idea. I don't want to be negative, but I'm getting real tired of Will's kids.

Why post this stuff? Who cares. People are gonna hate, it's always gonna be that way. Just ignore it and focus on the positive.

I doubt this movie had a marketing cost of 40 million.

Ali was a great performance that deserved every bit of acclaim it got and then some. While Will is not the greatest dramatic actor out there or the best comedian, he is very good at both. Very few actors have his diversity in different genres. Some of you guys are being a little too negative and harsh. Music fans need to accept he's done with it, and quite ragging on his films so much. Though, I'll give you Seven Pounds. Not nearly as bad as some said, but is not that good of a film.

It's likely gonna be that Last Pharaoh movie, which is a bad idea. It should be "Empire" with Michael Mann, but if not that then something fun and entertaining like "It Takes A Thief". Will needs to earn some good will back with audiences after these somber, depressing movies. Sequels to "Hancock" and "I Am Legend" are bad ideas I decided.

Yeah, Christianity and Islam never have followers do awful things to one another, it's just Scientology.
