So apparently "After Earth" is incredible

[Deacon923]

Wow, Smith's character is actually named "Cypher Raige". Video game characters don't even have names that bad.

 

[DeacHawk]

didn't Smith also turn down Django Unchained?

I couldn't resist.

By the end of the summer, Will and Jaden will hold a press conference saying After Earth was really a satire on this genre. They will crack up as they read the script.

How can you argue with Will Smith about comedy?

It's blocked at work but I can't help but think of this link anytime someone brings up Signs.

That, and the Nostalgia Critic's review, are pure gold.

...

so now every time I hear the name "Lucille", I expect there to be an Arrested Development, "loose seal" gag.

 

[dartsndeacs]

Wow so big willie came up with the idea and wrote alot of it as well?

 

[deacvision7]

Correct.

I'd love to have been in the room when a group of studio executives decided to give M. Night Shymalan 130 million dollars to make a sci-fi movie starring Jaden Smith.

I bet it will still make money. Will Smith + crappy scifi premise = profit.

Independence Day $817 million
Men in Black $587 million
Men in Black II $441 million
I, Robot $348 million
I Am Legend $585 million
Hancock $624 million
Men in Black III $624 million
(gross box office)

ID4 and the first MIB were awesome.

 

[PhDeac]

ID4 and the first MIB were awesome.

Agreed. Too bad I was sucked into watching the next 3.

Will Smith just cashing-it-in. Confirmed upcoming projects:


I-Robot 2
Hancock 2
Bad Boys 3

 

[RollWave35]

I Am Legend $585 million

Maybe it was because I liked the book so much, but this one was incredibly disappointing to me. It just completely missed the mark on what made the story so unique and special.

Nice article on Shyamalan's fall from grace.

Oh man, that movie.

this is amazing

 

[DeaconCav06]

I didn't read I am Legend but I thought the movie was decent.

 

[truifh0]

Is there one of these for Will Smith? He had some good movies earlier in his career with Bad Boys, Independence Day, and MIB, but since then it has mostly been crap.
