Will Smith would have been disastrous in The Matrix and now I want to see it

Sean Connery turned down both Gandalf in Lord of the Rings and Morpheus in The Matrix because he didn't understand the scripts. He turned down Dumbledore in Harry Potter because it was too fantastical. Then he tried a reverse approach where he accepted the next role he didn't understand, because clearly that was where the money was at. So he accepted Allan Quartermain in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, a movie which flopped hard. Then he ragequit the industry and retired.

I'm so glad he skips movies he would have ruined

Will smiths thing is most similar to dwayne johnson, he wanted to be the LEAD or the most prominent actor and not the side character

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

He slapped a man on national television because he made a joke about his wife. That wasn't even a mean joke, it was just in somewhat bad taste. (He was also laughing at the joke until he saw his wife roll her eyes at it)

He is quite dumb

maybe he just didnt get the point of the story or something. I dont think you can act well if you cant get into the character

From the interview I heard they pitched the matrix terribly.

I don't get people sometimes. Here's a hollywood elite who thinks they have the ability to physically assault another person (and so fucking brazenly in front of the whole world) and never be held responsible. Fuck Will Smith and anything he profits from including recognition of past performances. Comments in here are acting like a bunch of wannabe-nostalgia-cucks who don't care as long as the individual did a silly little dance and entertained them some. Dude needs serious rehabilitation and a reality check which will never come to him because people would rather talk about his performances instead of the actual person.

Ever heard about his wife?

Fixed

Nah sure, giant mecha-spider in the Wild West is more straightforward I guess.

(Speaking of which Kevin Smith did a ride of a story about a superman movie that never got made, which ties into that very same Mecha-spider)

Some people are not set up for science fiction or fantasy at all. Will Smith is a borderline case, though.

Django Unchained too.

The jiggy with guy dumb?

The wild wild west guy dumb?

Yes
