lol so they got thier news from a 7 year old.

December 13, 2007. With the writers strike set to shutting down production at many major studios, TV networks are turning to reality shows. And there's one reality show being pitched that's getting a good bit of attention. MediaTakeOut.com has learned that a production company associated with Will Smith is pitching a reality show that follows his family. One network insider told MediaTakeOut.com, "The show follows the life of Jada, Will and the children - with the focus mostly on Jada and the children ... According to the producers, the Smith's are somewhere between the Osbourne's, who are crazy, and the Simmons' - who are a little too wholesome." And according to the insider, many networks are interested. The exec told MediaTakeOut.com, "The series looks attractive on paper - but with the strike, it looks like American Idol." http://www.mediatakeout.com/20279/will_smi...ality_show.html To me i think this is fake but if its true this could be huge!

Actor Will Smith follows his Oscar-nominated turn in The Pursuit of Happyness with a sharp detour: zombie-flick I Am Legend, in which he plays scientist Robert Neville, possibly the last person left on Earth after a virus infects the populace and the only hope for a cure. And while he may not win awards for the role, Smith's bankability as an action star promises ample rewards just the same. PREMIERE talked to Smith about I Am Legend and power. You carry a pretty big acting burden in I Am Legend. You are mostly alone. We essentially wanted to make something new. And I'm by myself with a dog for the first 60 pages [of the script], you know what I mean? So that's terrifying. My God, am I as interesting as Tom Hanks [in Cast Away]? Will people want to watch me by myself for [an hour]? But working with [screenwriter] Akiva [Goldsman], we're essentially trying to sneak a small character[-driven] art film into the body of a big summer blockbuster. Did you shoot in a linear fashion so that you could get into the character? Well, the structure of the script pops all over the place. There are essentially three sections. There's pre-disaster, there's Neville in current-time disaster, and then there's a story turn that I can't reveal, which is the last section of the script. But when you view it, there are parallel stories going on and flashbacks and fever dreams and all kinds of things happening. So we [shot] it in the order of the script, but the order of the script isn't the order of the story. Do you think your character has lost hope? That's interesting. We've been debating whether or not this character has lost hope. Is it just a routine that he wakes up every day, and here is this routine so programmed that he does it? Or does he actually hope that he finds the cure? Hope is actually the enemy. So probably in his deepest subconscious he has to hope to still wake up every day, but there's no conscious hope at all. There's an ego or super ego, whatever. There might be a little id hope going on. If this happened to you in your own life, do you think you could survive? Oh, no. You know, it's really interesting. I've been working on a family charter essentially, putting together family rules and how we function and what our purpose is and all of that. And one of the basic ideas of why human beings form groups is because you can't survive by yourself. Most of us don't know how to distill clean drinking water. The second we get an infected tooth, most of us couldn't do what Tom Hanks did in Cast Away. So we need other people for our very survival. So I can't imagine that I'd be that quick a learner if something like this were to happen, and there was no chance of folks coming back. I'd drive that thing right off the George Washington Bridge. How do you describe this film to someone who has no idea what it is about? Because it is both sci-fi and horror. Yeah. Well, the studio's not going like this description, but it is a character drama. It is a huge summer-blockbuster character drama. And there are science-fiction elements. We are genre-conscious — there are zombies in this movie — but this is absolutely straight down the middle a character study. What do you think of the vampires in this film? Have you seen them? Yeah. They're totally digital, so it's one of those things where you never — you don't really get a good look. There are concept drawings and ideas but you're actually working with nothing. So the concept drawings looked great, but I haven't seen [them in] motion. Is there a lot of action in this movie? We have the standard three action sequences, but we're concentrating aggressively on not having action sequences for the sake of action sequences. We're holding ourselves firmly to the idea that it has got to be driven by character. So we have stunning action sequences, but I feel like you'll connect to them emotionally, but you're not going to feel like you're being bombarded with an action sequence. That's our hope. When was the last time you watched Charlton Heston in The Omega Man, which was also based on Richard Matheson's novel I Am Legend? Oh, God, we've been watching it every day. In the production office, we run all of the movies 24 hours a day so that we have a connection [to them]. I think that was [screenwriter] Akiva [Goldsman]'s idea. There are 16 monitors on throughout the production office. So Omega Man and 28 Days and Cast Away, all of those movies that are connected, that have similar themes [play constantly]. There are things that people do well that you want to avoid, and there's things that people do poorly that you want to avoid. What's it like working with director Francis Lawrence? He did the Men in Black II video, so we have worked together before. He's just extremely easy-going. He's smart and a huge researcher. And I love that. I'm so big on research. And we went to the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta. We went to San Francisco and met with a couple of the foremost virologists and epidemiologists in the world. I just love programming all of that stuff. I just feel like it gives it a texture of authenticity. Did you work together with the screenwriter and director to develop the duality inherent in the script? Akiva doesn't need much help from anybody else to find that type of stuff. It's very collaborative, and we build on ideas that are there. One of the early things that you see in the script is there are signs everywhere that says God still loves us. Is he alive because he is a scientist? Well, he's immune. He has a natural immunity. His assumption is there were 6 billion people on earth. The KV virus had a 90 percent kill rate. So that's 5.4 billion people dead immediately, which left 600 million people with a 2 percent immunity. And that 2 percent immunity was before the dark seekers started getting hungry. So he feels like the chances are really slim for there being other people. Your daughter Willow is in I Am Legend and your son was in The Pursuit of Happyness. So is this the beginning of the Will Smith dynasty? Well, you know, it's like it's the family business. And we shoot shorts around the house all the time. It's just what our family does. And it's what our kids know. And, you know, it's something that they love doing. So we're not asking them to do it or forcing them to do it. It's just a part of our life. Is it your intention to delve into more character roles, ones that don't rely so much on the "Will Smith" character? What I learned working with Michael Mann [on Ali] and what I learned also with The Pursuit of Happyness — people seem to appreciate when I turn the Will Smith off, you know? Flip that switch the other direction. People, whether they like it or not, there seems to be some admiration for the attempt. It's like being in a fight, and you know you have a punch that'll knock the guy out and when the fight starts to get hard, it's difficult not to throw that punch. But to know that you are training another punch, and you'll be a better fighter if you allow yourself to train your left hand instead of just knocking everybody out with your right hand — because eventually one day everybody's gonna learn that punch, and it's not gonna be effective anymore. So I wouldn't say it's fun, but I would say it's exciting. Do you think that after Pursuit of Happyness and now this character drama, you'll do more character roles? I'm insane right now about diving into the mind of a character. I've always loved story. I'm attracted to great stories. And the roles that I've chosen in the past have always been story-driven. And if I love the story, I'll figure out the character. And now working with Michael Mann, now Gabriele Muccino on Pursuit of Happyness, there are no frills, no thrills — they want none of that. It's all about the character. And I'm starting to enjoy creating from that standpoint. No matter how cool it is, if it's not real for the character, we're not doing it. And that's not like me. Right after finishing The Pursuit of Happyness you jetted off to Rome to attend Tom Cruise's wedding and then you immediately jumped into I Am Legend — do you ever take any time off? You know, I feed my family with this, but it's actually my hobby also. So it's not something that I need a break from. It's what my life is and what my life has been for 20 years. I pretty much work seven-day weeks, you know. But it's not work in my mind. Do you remember when you realized you'd be performing in some aspect for the majority of your life? That's interesting, there was a story I was just thinking about the other day. I went from grade school to high school, and it was my first day in a big high school. And I guess I'm one of those people — I guess my condition would be called counterphobia, right? If that's a word. Like when I'm scared of things, I feel like I have to attack it, right? So I was terrified going into this new school. And I walked into the lunch room — there were about 400 students in the lunch room — and I walked in and whistled as loud as I could whistle, and I said, "Hey, it's okay, he's here now. Everybody can relax, he's here!" And a guy looked up and said, "Don't nobody give a **** that you here." And I looked and I said, "Well, I just got here. Gimme a few minutes and your girlfriend is gonna care that I'm here." How old were you? I was probably 14. So three minutes later, he put a lock over his finger and punched me in the side of my head and knocked me unconscious. And I remember laying there on the steps, and I remember thinking, Wow, that's a lot of power to have. This guy just got himself kicked out of school and could potentially go to jail based on something that I was able to control. And in that moment I remember feeling endowed with power. And I thought to myself, If I have enough power to potentially make somebody throw their life away, the way the universe works, I probably have enough power to change somebody's life for the better. And then from that point I remember starting to think about how I could use that for good things in that one moment, in that one instant — what could I do, what could I say, what could I adjust to make that big a difference in somebody's life for good? And then from that moment I started really thinking and really concentrating, really focusing on that first impression, that first moment, that stepping in and making the right impact and singing the right thing and, you know, looking at people with good intentions versus all your insecurities and all of that. And so I would say, probably I had a handle on it by the time I was 21 or 22 years old, where I felt like I started to have a little command and control over that power that we all have. Is that why you avoid playing bad guys? Yeah, I just enjoy inspiring good feelings. Like that's fun for me. Comedy I would say is my most fun. How people react to Hitch and how people react to The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, like there's nothing that matches that. So I just haven't been inspired to play a bad guy. I'm sure there is a bad guy at some point that has the right message, you know? Scarface had the right message about power and drugs and all of that. He showed you exactly where the mess was going to end up. So even though it's a tragic story, there's a positive message in it. Do you feel that, now, you have more power than other people? That's funny. No, I feel like, because so many times you have a microphone and a camera in front of you, [what you say] will be pumped around the world — that definitely gives you power. Power is in the movement of people. How many people can you move determines how much power you have. So I would say I have a stronger magnifying glass for the same power, the same amount of power I had when I was 14. I feel like internally it's honed and crafted to be able to use it more specifically, but it's essentially the same amount of power. I just have this, you know, "Warner Brothers machinery" that will pump the message more aggressively. http://www.premiere.com/features/4321/q-a-...will-smith.html

Will Smith's Charities Include Scientology Will Smith — charismatic, friendly and polite — is also very charitable. His Will Smith Foundation has given hundreds of thousands of dollars to local civic organizations in the Baltimore and Philadelphia areas. Last year he was even one of the few clients of Creative Artists Agency to give money to the talent agency’s own tax-free fund ($2,500). But here’s something you don’t know: After Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett, made "Collateral" with Tom Cruise in 2004, the couple donated $20,000 to Scientology’s literacy campaign, called HELP, The Hollywood Education and Literacy Program, which is the basis for Scientology’s home-schooling system. The 2005 contribution is listed in the federal filing for The Will Smith Foundation for the previous year. Since that time, Smith’s children have been home-schooled. This week, doing publicity for "I Am Legend," Smith reiterated his plan to start his own private school. Cruise may be hopeful about bringing Smith’s deep, charitable pockets into Scientology, but it won’t be easy as the "I Am Legend" actor has varied interests that already command his dollars. For example, in 2005, HELP was not the The Will Smith Foundation's top donation. That honor went to Yesha Ministries of Philadelphia. Smith gave them $140,000. Yesha, founded by Charles Coker, teaches Christian-based martial arts in Florida. Smith likes Yesha so much he gave them another $125,000 last year. That’s a lot of money for Tae Kwon Do. Among his other charitable donations in 2006, Smith gave $7,500 to a group called Partners for Educating Actors, Composers and Entertainers, or PEACE. No listing could be found for the group on guidestar.org, where all U.S. charities are registered. Cruise, meanwhile, will not leave Smith alone. He made a "surprise" appearance at Smith’s Walk of Fame installation this week, then flew to New York for the premiere of Smith’s new movie, "I Am Legend." This is Cruise’s methodology from previous campaigns to anoint new "friends." His PR history is filled with "surprise" visits and stiff hugs for new "pals." He’s the only Hollywood star we ever see do this, and it’s not because he’s so gregarious. In every case some kind of story follows about Cruise and Scientology recruitment. In this latest scenario, Smith seems somewhat won over after Pinkett already had taken the lead. Smith continues to defend Cruise and Scientology. Smith reiterated on "Access Hollywood" this week a similar idea he presented in a men’s mag this month: that Scientology and the Bible are pretty much the same. He told "Access": "I was introduced [to] it by Tom and I’m a student of world religion. I was raised in a Baptist household, I went to a Catholic school, but the ideas of the Bible are 98 percent the same ideas of Scientology, 98 percent the same ideas of Hinduism and Buddhism." On at least a basic level, Smith might be thought incorrect in that statement. Neither Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism nor, for that matter, Judaism espouse the idea of space aliens occupying one’s body. Just for the holiday aspect, Smith added a line — which can be seen on the syndicated show’s Web site, that should get everyone in the mood for rockin’ around the Christmas tree: "How can I condemn someone for what they believe and I believe that God was born from a pregnant virgin?" http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,316808,00.html

Will Smith "I Am Legend" Interview with Kam Williams by Kam Williams Will Is Legend Will Smith's stratospheric stature in showbiz has only been further enhanced by I Am Legend's record-setting $76.5 million weekend debut for a December release. The sci-fi adventure marked his seventh straight flick that has opened in the #1 slot at the box office, a run which started with Ali and has also included The Pursuit of Happyness, Hitch, Bad Boys II, Men in Black II and I, Robot. I Am Legend is the third big-screen adaptation (one, starring Vincent Price, the other, Charlton Heston) of Richard Matheson's post-apocalyptic best seller from 1954 about the desperate struggle of the last man on Earth to survive a scourge that has turned the rest of humanity in a cannibalistic race of zombies. Here, Will shares his thoughts about the demands of playing virologist Robert Neville, a challenging role which placed him alone on screen for very long stretches at a time. KW: Did you have any hesitation about approving a script that would have you carrying so much of the picture alone? WS: That was the terrifying part about even taking on this film, the idea that there were probably 80 pages of just me and a dog. I thought that although people had enjoyed me in a movie theater before, this might be a little too much Will for anybody. So, I looked at it, and worked with Akiva Goldsman and Mark Protosevich, the writers of the script. We studied POWs and a guy who had been in isolation in prison, and we found the things that could really create the texture of what that truly means to be by yourself. And the one thing we found that was across the board was schedule. The only way to maintain sanity is that you had to have a regimented schedule. That was the basis of how we tried to create my character in the movie, and then also the idea of his internal monologue. When you have no external stimulus, you lose the stimulus-response concept with your thoughts and feelings. A guy told us you that you forget the names of simple things, when you no longer have the stimulus and response. KW: Did you think this film might be scary enough to warrant an R rating instead of the PG-13 it got? WS: Fortunately, the MPAA gets to make that decision. So, you just show them the movie, and they decide what the rating is. KW: Why did you decide to release a summer blockbuster-type action film during the holiday season? WS: That involved a difficult decision-making process for me creatively. Akiva Goldsman and I posed some questions to one another. Why do the big movies come out in the summer, and the good movies come out in the Fall? Why are they separated? Is there any possibility that you could take both and marry those ideas? Take a big concept, yet put a person at the center of it, and follow a character through the reality of whatever that situation is. So, it was difficult, because we tried to commit to the small, artistic version that stayed true to the feeling and energy of the source material, and yet have that blockbuster package. We knew that people were going to be a little shocked by it in the theater, but hoped that that'd turn out to be a good thing. KW: Did you feel that it was financially risky to release a big-budgeted, CGI creature feature at Christmastime? WS: I'm a student of the patterns of the universe. If I can figure out how something is seemingly risky, but I have the numbers on my side, I get really comfortable taking a leap. When I first came to Hollywood, I said to my manager, James Lassiter, "I want to be the biggest movie star in the world!" He said, "Okay, we should probably figure out what they do, and plot a course." So, he went and got the top ten movies of all time. We watched them to try to figure out what were the patterns. And ten out of ten of them were special effects movies. Nine out of ten were special effects movies with creatures. And eight out of ten were special effects movies with creatures and a love story. So, Independence Day was not really a hard call to make when you look at the numbers. Therefore, I Am Legend, in concept, is not a hard call to make. KW: If you really were the last man on Earth like your character, what would be the one item you'd want to have? WS: A pistol, because I'm out of here [Laughs]. KW: Did you read the book or watch either of the earlier screen adaptations of I Am Legend? WS: Yeah, I looked at both of them. And there are a couple versions of the book, also. The idea of being alone and the fear of the dark is such a primal concept. Every four year-old has thought about being separated from their family, and being alone, and it being dark, and what comes out of the dark. So, to me, the idea, in general, is in the collective unconscious. We're all keyed into these fears. As far as the other film versions, I felt we would be able to bring something new with this film because in the past there's never been this level of technology available to support the weight of this story. KW: Who inspired you to believe in yourself as a child? WS: My grandmother thought that I was just the greatest. She always had us playing the piano and kept us in the shows at church. And there was a look of pride that my grandmother would have in her eyes that became the fuel that I need for life. KW: Would you describe yourself as a spiritual person? WS: I believe absolutely, unquestionably that there are forces at work in the universe that science can't explain. And I think that there is an end to human knowledge. And at that end of human knowledge, beyond that into the unknown, we have to call it something in order for us to be able to talk about it. And if people didn't have to attach specific names to it, and want to argue and fight about it, I think that all across the board we could agree to call the unknown beyond what we know, say, The Higher Power... the X-Factor... God... Allah.... Let's just agree that there's something beyond what we know. Things happen that we can't control. There are things like Karma. Not to anthropomorphize, but there are mysteries that seem to have human qualities beyond what we understand. So, I absolutely believe, and I try to tap in and to become a surfer of the dial, to find that energy, whether it's prayer, or other things people do to try to connect to an energy that we all know is out there. So, yes, I believe there's an energy, yes, I try to connect to it, and yes, I try to use it and be in the good graces of that energy to have things in my life go the way I would like them to go. http://newsblaze.com/story/20071218115318t...op-Stories.html

Actor Will Smith believes he is not sexy enough for his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. The actor shows off his well toned physique in his new film ‘I Am Legend,’ but Jada reckons he looked better when nominated for an Oscar in Ali. The ‘Men In Black’ star, 39, revealed to British newspaper The Sun: “She prefers my Ali body.” “She quite likes me like this and I’m really pleased with it, but she likes it more when I’m really bulked up.” Will, who plays the last man left on earth after a deadly virus has killed or mutated the population, says that being at the peak of physical fitness is the key to happiness. “I love being in great physical shape,” he said. “The quality of parenting depends on it, and it impacts on the quality of my relationship with my wife. “It’s the beginning of finding happiness achieving the things you want to.” Will also likes the female attention his body attracts. “I love it when the ladies go ‘ooh!’ at it,” he laughed.” “That turns me on a little bit.” Will - who turns 40 in September, also joked about the gra flecks in his beard saying: “They’re not real. I get a company to come in and paint those on.” http://www.showbizspy.com/2007/12/19/will-...h-for-his-wife/
