  2. Will Smith performs with Jazzy Jeff

    in Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince

    Posted

    Despite being a huge Hollywood movie star, Will Smith hasn't forgotten his former music career as one half of DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince.

    Will Smith is to reunite with Jazzy Jeff

    The I Am Legend actor is set to perform a couple of dates with his old friend this summer.

    "Jeff and I perform a couple of times a year," he says. "We're going to go out there in July and we're checking out some places throughout the world to do some big shows. To circle back to that golden age of hip hop - we're planning some things."

    For years, better known as the Fresh Prince from the hit TV show, Will has fond memories of the day people stopped referring to him as the character.

    "On July 6 1996, when the Fresh Prince finished, and after Independence Day came out, that Monday was the first time that somebody called me Mr Smith," he says. "I'm like 'what the hell?' All through the Fresh Prince, it was, 'hey hey Fresh Prince, Fresh Prince'. But that morning when the box office numbers came out after Independence Day, people said 'good morning Mr Smith.' It was so bizarre."

    I know the full story. I also know there has been a better time. But in my opinion people can post what they want, and if you don't like what they post just ignore it. It's called freedom of speech. Maybe you find those topics boring but you don't do anything to improve the situation. You only complain.

    But tell me Julie, if you think ws.com is a waste of time why do you still visit it? I don't wanna call you a hypocrite but that's what it seems.

    I wasn't talking about you, Max, but I think some people talk about ws.com and they really don't know what's happening on there. They just believe it will never change, or it has never changed, but for many people like me it's a cool place and there are a lot of good members, just like over here. For that reason we don't like to hear those comments, especially comments by people who have no clue.

    Not all the members are like that. You just picked some pointless topics, but that happens in every forum. Have you seen the IMDB boards? They are full of crap too, but it's natural. Of course it's annoying to see such topics, but people should help instead of complaining. What I don't understand is why some ppl talk about something that they really have no idea.

    Muccino-Smith: Hollywood’s golden couple

    Italian director shooting Seven Pounds after the success of The Pursuit of Happyness

    By Paola Bernardini

    muccinomq2.jpg

    Seven Pounds is another Hollywood-style movie and another human drama. Gabriele Muccino, after directing Will Smith in the successful film The Pursuit of Happyness, reunited with Smith to tell the story of a man who is on the brink of suicide, but decides to live because he realizes he is in love with someone.

    It’s a story of our time, full of the fears and weaknesses of modern society, set in the American world of winners and losers. The shooting of the film, written by Grant Nieporte and produced by Columbia Pictures, will start the first week of March. The goal is to launch the movie by December 2008 and have likely a race opportunity for the 2009 Oscar Awards.Will Smith will play the role of a guilt-ridden man who killed seven people in a car accident. He’s a devastated and lonely man who tries to reckon with himself and remains defeated. He decides to die. This gesture, which should be his end, marks his future. He crosses the tunnel of desperation but instead he finds the light thanks to a meeting with a woman who pulls him away from his agony. Will Smith eventually falls in love with this woman, played by the Afro-American actress Rosario Dawson, who has become famous for her role in the Spike Lee’s movie He Got Game featuring Denzel Washington. She’s also a well-known actress for her performances in Grindhouse by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, Sin City, Rent, and Alexander. Texan actor Woody Harrelson (North Country, The Walker, Natural Born Killers, Indecent Proposal) a motel owner who befriends Will Smith. The movie will also feature the Canadian actor Barry Pepper, famous for his role as a crack shot in Saving Private Ryan by Steven Spielberg, and for his memorables performance in The Green Mile and in Enemy of the State.

    Muccino’s new movie features a great cast, and the film might be his second chance at Hollywood; who knows if it will repeat the golden success achieved with The Pursuit of Happyness: which made more than $300 million worldwide and garnered an Oscar nomination for Will Smith.

    The collaboration between Muccino and Smith comes from a deep reciprocal respect. “There are two reasons that make Muccino perfect for American cinema.” says Smith. “The first one is his deep understanding of human relationships and emotions; the second one is the fact that he understands the fundamental importance of the ending of a movie: when an audience leaves the cinema, they have to be satisfied by the movie, so the last three minutes are really important.”

    Will Smith grew up in Beverly Hills, started his career as a singer, as the Fresh Prince, featuring DJ Jazzy Jeff (Jeff Townes). In 1989 he got the main role in The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, a successful sitcom serialized on NBC for six years. Then he performed in Bad Boys, Independence Day, Men in Black and Wild Wild West. With the movie Ali he got his first Oscar nomination for Best Actor. Now he is promoting I Am legend, based on the science fiction novel by Richard Matheson, which in America made $230 million in three weeks. A couple of days ago, it was launched in Italy.

    After Seven Pounds, Smith will direct and remake the 1984 cult classic The Karate Kid featuring Jackie Chan, “ A project to make happy my son,” he says.

    Muccino is already in Los Angeles, where started to work on Seven Pounds. His popularity is fast growing in Hollywood: he was chosen as the director of a comedy featuring Cameron Diaz and Canada's Jim Carrey, A Little Game Without Sonsequences; but, two weeks before the start of film shooting, the project was stopped. In addition, he might work with Al Pacino. The actress Hilary Swank, who was the winner of two Oscar Awards for Boys Don’t Cry (Roberto Benigni handed it to her) and for Million Dollar Baby, and who will soon in the cinema with her new movie P.S. I Love You, confessed to dream of a movie with the 100% Italian movie director. “There are many new movie directors, but I would really like work with Muccino,” says Hilary Swank at the Ischia Global Film & Music Fest.

    We need only to wait for Muccino’s new Hollywood-style movie. In his films he always depicts teenage angst, the Peter Pan syndrome and emotional bonds, such as in The Last Kiss, which was very successful in North America too. In 2006 Tony Goldwyn realized the American remake of The Last Kiss, in which Jacinta Barrett performs the role originally played by Giovanna Mezzogiorno, Rachel Bilson plays the role originally performed by Martina Stella and Zach Braff takes on Stefano Accorsi's part. The movie is the story of a group of friends in their 30s who have difficulties growing up and becoming adults, and of a common law couple in crisis due to a teenage girl. The movie enchanted Will Smith. “Eva Mendes [who played in Hitch, editor’s note] suggested that I watch The Last Kiss,” he says. “I loved it. I adore Muccino and I’m sure that we’ll leave a new mark in cinema with Seven Pounds.”

  19. SMITH URGES PEERS TO THINK INTERNATIONALLY

    in Will Smith Movies

    Posted

    WILL SMITH has hit out at actors who refuse to promote their movies around the world, insisting it's the only way to become a global superstar. The I Am Legend star is amazed that only a handful of Hollywood celebrities bother to visit South America, Europe and the Far East to promote films - because those that choose not to are missing huge opportunities to become international stars. He says, "I've had conversations bordering on arguments with a lot of actors (about this). "I ask, 'How many premieres of your movie have you been to?' And they say, 'Oh, one in L.A., one in New York.' Well, what about London? What about Berlin? Tokyo? Seoul? You have to go.' "It's the only way that somebody gets to be a movie star in the way that you look at Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise and myself."
