He also turned down Django Unchained. Will Smith is just shit at picking roles.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 day ago

Thank God. He would have ruined it.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

he's also extremely dedicated to maintaining his brand. turning down Django Unchained does feel like a HUGE wiff to me though. Django is basically Deadshot if Deadshot lived in the Antebellum South (presumably after the California gold rush since he spends some time in Colorado). maybe Tarantino films can't ever fit the Will Smith toxic positivity brand?

[–] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Yea, but isn't a kind of big part of his brand that he is technically family friendly? Like he didn't use bad language in his music and stuff, right? Django Unchained but rated PG-13 would have been an entirely different movie...

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 7 points 1 day ago

Will can't help but be himself in a movie. Instead of... You know... "Act".

I don't want the alternate Django Unchained where Will Smith starts rappin and getting jiggy with it.

Why does Will Smith in Django Unchained make me think of Wow Wow.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mean, he's picked plenty of bangers.

Sometimes there's scheduling conflicts. Sometimes a director casts a wide net, knowing he's going to get a bunch of rejections. Sometimes you get roped into a project as a favor or a quid pro quo (Vin Disel coming back for a cameo in FF: Tokyo Drift to get Chronicles of Riddick made, only to end up making nine more movies and counting) and it changes your career.

I honestly can't think of the last will smith movie I enjoyed

Gemini was kind of entertaining, but I wouldn't go as far as calling it "good".

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I wasn't bored while watching it, but I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Bad Boys for Life was fun.
