Josh Brolin To Star In Spike Lee’s ‘Oldboy’ Redo For Mandate BREAKING: Josh Brolin was rumored to be on the short list to star in Spike Lee’s Oldboy, a remake of the cult 2003 Korean revenge thriller from Park Chan-wook. Now it’s official: Brolin will topline the Mandate Pictures redo, which begins production in March. Brolin, who just wrapped Men in Black 3 with Will Smith, next begins work on Warner Bros’ Gangster Squad. It looks like he’ll squeeze in Oldboy before shooting Jason Reitman’s Labor Day opposite Kate Winslet; that movie is set to begin production in June. The new Oldboy has script adapted by Mark Protosevich, who will co-produce. Roy Lee and Doug Davison will produce via Vertigo Entertainment with Lee’s 40 Acres & A Mule. Mandate president Nathan Kahane will executive produce. Originally, DreamWorks was looking to pick up remake rights in 2008, with the idea that Steven Spielberg would direct Smith. The story centers on a man who is kidnapped on his daughter’s birthday and held for 15 years in solitary confinement without explanation. He is eventually released and sets out on a path to take revenge on those who destroyed his life. http://www.deadline.com/2011/08/josh-brolin-to-star-in-spike-lees-oldboy-redo-for-mandate/

I wanted to share this article, it was a nice read.. ----- Now this is a story all about how my life got flipped-turned upside down. And I’d like to take a minute, just sit right there, I’ll tell you how I became obsessed with The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Really, seriously obsessed. And, strangely enough, not until recently. Sure, I caught the show every once in awhile in the 1990s. But I never fully appreciated it until I was much older — and aware about Will Smith’s status as a superstar. Prior to revisiting Fresh Prince a few years back, thanks to those TBS reruns, I never could call myself a fan of the multi-camera sitcom. Most series in the genre were dated, predictable, and less funny than Hillary’s boyfriend Trevor. So when I flipped on a rerun of Fresh Prince a few years back, I was surprised how much Fresh Prince distanced itself from other sitcoms of its era. The wardrobe might have represented the worst of the ’90s, but the series still felt, well, fresh. The show took risks, going bluer than most sitcoms aimed at a family-friendly audience. And, most importantly, it was knock-down, drag-out funny. Of course, most of the credit can be given to its star, Will Smith. Even in his early days as an actor, the multi-hyphenate lit up the screen, commanding it better than co-stars with years more experience. Tuning into Fresh Prince, it was clear the young actor would soon be inviting cheers at your local theater punching aliens. But part of what made Smith so impressive — and so darn likable — was his ability to share the wealth on-screen. Yes, he stole every single Fresh Prince episode. And, yes, the series would be lost without him. But Smith allowed Fresh Prince to be an ensemble show, even when it was clear he was its true star. The show wouldn’t be complete without James Avery’s Philip Banks, a foil who showed us exasperation at its finest. Or Janet Hubert and Daphne Reid’s Vivian Banks (Hubert left the show after three years), the straight woman who could still keep up with her wise-guy nephew; Karyn Parsons’ Hilary Banks, the Veruca Salt-esque spoiled cousin with a heart of gold — because that’s all she loved; Tatyana Ali’s Ashley Banks, the adolescent cousin who adored Will and served as proof that Smith could cater towards a family-friendly demographic; Joseph Marcell’s Geoffrey, the hospitable butler who evened out Will’s manic ways with quiet hostility; and, of course, Alfonso Ribeiro’s Carlton Banks, a character so outlandish, everyone could mimic “The Carlton Dance” to this day. The series was so fresh and so smart, it’s no wonder several high-profile guest stars stopped by the Banks mansion throughout its run: Fresh Prince boasted appearances from the likes of Tyra Banks, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Queen Latifah, and Dick Clark. But the series hardly needed big names to succeed. Actually, I always preferred the episodes that would focus squarely on the Banks family and Will’s hijinks. Think “Talking Turkey” (the first Thanksgiving episode), “Burnin’ Down the House” (in which Will accidentally destroys the Banks kitchen), and “Strip-Tease For Two,” when Carlton and Will unintentionally become the dancers for a party involving Aunt Vivian. The Banks were a glamorous family with big hearts and hearty humor — who wouldn’t want to join in with their shenanigans? And give Smith millions and millions of dollars to headline Hollywood’s most profitable films? But now I turn things over to you, PopWatchers. What are you favorite memories involving the Banks family? And, with the exception of Will, who was your favorite Fresh Prince character? http://popwatch.ew.com/2011/08/29/fresh-prince-of-bel-air-tribute/

Will Smith's son's Twitter account suspended It turns out that one of the first responses to the Will-n-Jada breakup news this week wasn't on the up-and-up. When In Touch Weekly said the two superstars were breaking up, Will's son, Trey, put out the fire on Twitter saying the news was "NOT TRUE AT ALL." Now it turns out that wasn't true at all. It was a fake, according to InTouch and Access Hollywood's Shaun Robinson. And the account has been suspended from Twitter. Of course, Will and Jada wound up addressing the report themselves, issuing a formal statement saying their marriage was "intact." http://content.usatoday.com/communities/entertainment/post/2011/08/will-smiths-sons-twitter-account-not-real--/1

but that means K Smith is rapping..not Will right? That's a very good question

Alfonso Ribeiro Will and Jada are 'ALL GOOD' The Banks family still has each other's backs -- because last night in Hollywood, Alfonso Ribeiro went to bat for his TV cousin ... telling TMZ that Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are "all good" and definitely NOT getting a divorce. Carlton would know. http://www.tmz.com/2011/08/25/alfonso-ribeiro-will-smith-jada-pinkett-smith-divorce-fresh-prince-of-bel-air-marriage-all-good/#.TlZlRV1OhaU

Jada Pinkett and Marc Anthony "HawthoRNe" Crew Says They Didn't Hook Up Multiple members of the crew that work on "HawthoRNe" tell TMZ ... it was clear to everyone that Jada Pinkett Smith and Marc Anthony were not intimate on the set. The crew members we spoke with say ... they never saw anything inappropriate occur on the set. They add ... it seemed as if Jada and Marc went out of their way to squelch rumors. They would never run their lines together in their trailers but rather would do it out in the open, with an acting coach present. And 3 crew members noted that Will Smith would sometimes come to the set while Jada was filming and, as one of them put it, "It looked like they were on their honeymoon." No one we spoke with saw any conflict between the two. http://www.tmz.com/2...r/#.TlYKhF1OhaU

Judge for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4v260KfvlE This is the only thing press must have, just ACTING!

Yea, but he'll reply to this on January 2013 at least.
