John Lee Hancock to write and direct feature By TATIANA SIEGEL Sony Pictures Entertainment and Will Smith's Overbrook Entertainment are set to dive into the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Studio and shingle have obtained bigscreen life rights to John Keller, an ex-Marine who orchestrated the rescue of 244 of his New Orleans neighbors after their building, the American Can Co., was flooded in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The five-story structure sat in 11 feet of water after the breach of the levees. John Lee Hancock ("The Rookie," "The Alamo") is onboard to write and direct. In addition to Keller's life rights, Sony acquired Adetoro Makinde's spec script, which chronicles the heroism of Keller and will serve as a starting point for Hancock's draft. James Lassiter, Smith and Ken Stovitz are producing through their Sony-based Overbrook banner alongside Back Door Films' Makinde. Nicknamed "The Can Man," Keller has been profiled in several publications. He has said that he was motivated to help not out of any financial gain, nor a desire to be a hero, but a concern for the elderly residents of his building. Hancock is currently shooting the Sandra Bullock starrer "The Blind Side." http://www.variety.com/article/VR111800401...yId=13&cs=1

I never noticed he was saying that, he disappoints me a lot :( You've said before that "Eminem was the best rapper in History for you", and you haven't read the lyrics to 'The Real Slim Shday'? Damn! :lolsign:

Well done Lakers!!!

Hehe, BW, you wrote 'Where That Day Takes You' as the title of this video, and also in the video description it says 'Where The Tay Takes You' . I just found that funny :lolsign: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCUgIQeGROY

Haha! Gracias! :2thumbs:

The 'The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air' music video would be on the DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince list. And I don't think 'Yo Home to Bel-Air!' (which is a remix of the 'FPOBA' theme) has an official music video. I know there is a video of it on Youtube, -> this one <-, but it doesn't seem official. Not sure though. PS: I hope to see the 'Nightmare On My Street' music video before I die!

At least it's better than the 'Lovely Daze' music video, isn't it? :lolsign: I think it's official.

More articles... Will Smith's family proud as actor is recognised as great humanitarian Will Smith's mantelpiece must be laden with accolades for his acting and musical achievements. On Wednesday, though, the 40-year-old's efforts away from the entertainment scene were recognised when he was presented with a humanitarian award. And no-one was prouder than the assembled members of his family. "It's fantastic," said his elder son Trey, who joined step-mum Jada Pinkett Smith and the couple's two children, Jaden, ten, and eight-year-old Willow at the LA event. "He's a great man doing a lot of work in life and supporting his family." Jada, the actor's wife of 11 years, added: "Will often gets honoured for the great talent he is, and it's just fantastic to see him being honoured for the great man that he is." The actor's Hancock co-star Charlize Theron - on hand to present the Fresh Prince with his gong - also had some kind words to share about her pal. "I've never met anybody like Will," revealed the Oscar-winning beauty. "I've never met anybody who has the effect he has on people." For Will, lending his support to others comes naturally. "When I started making music back in Philly at 12 years old there was always a big thing in my family; that whatever you do, first off you have to serve God. And if you serve god properly then you can serve your community," he explained. "So the idea of service has always been engrained and connected to the idea of success. So if you win you've got to share it!" http://www.hellomagazine.com/film/2009/05/...l-smith-theron/

Will Smith on Who Should Play Black Bond! Posted by ExtraTV Staff on May 6, 2009 1:09 PM Actor Will Smith is dishing to "Extra" about who he thinks should play the first black James Bond on the big screen. "Extra" caught up with the megastar last night, as he was presented with the Simon Wiesenthal Center's Humanitarian Award. When an "Extra" friend asked Will who would make a better black James Bond -- himself, P. Diddy, or Jamie Foxx -- Smith responded, "Puff probably lives the most like James Bond... Jamie Foxx got the swag for James Bond. He can sing too, so he can add a new element to Bond. Wooing the ladies... and I think I can guarantee the box office!" Jamie Foxx wants fans to know that he is definitely in the running! He told our Mario Lopez that he wouldn't mind donning the 007 tux. "Might be kind of cool. What would my drink be? Not vodka. I'd have to drink Hennessy or something like that. Little yak attack for James Biz-ond!" Smith is no stranger to playing secret agents on the big screen. He played Agent J in two "Men in Black" blockbusters -- and hopes to return for a third! "We've had a couple of meetings. We're looking at it," Smith says of a potential third round of the hit franchise. "The team has committed, so we have to do it service with the creative part of it. Everyone is on board, so we will see what happens." "Extra" also caught up with Jada Pinkett-Smith at the ceremony, who brushed off rumors that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are planning on sending little Suri to Will and Jada's new Los Angeles area school. Pinkett-Smith tells "Extra," "No, Suri is not going to the school. That's just rumors." http://extratv.warnerbros.com/2009/05/will...should_play.php

Have an awesome day AJ! :birthday:

Exclusive : Who's Who in The Karate Kid? I'm about as excited by the idea of a "Karate Kid" remake as I am of contracting the Swine Flu - but nevertheless I'm curious about the film, and have been following its progress (namely the casting) rather closely. I think what's intriguing about this one - and this could work in it's favour, I guess - is that producer Will Smith seems intent on not remaking John G.Avildsen's 1984 classic but simply ‘getting jigging with' it's template; sort of making a film that plays eerily similar to the Pat Morita-classic, but not that close. And if that's right, then it might just pass muster. If there's one thing that stinks about most of today's remakes it's that they're merely retreads of the original. If there's a reason to remaking something, like, say, you're going to reinterpret it, then maybe, just maybe, it's worth doing - like, say, Rob Zombie's "Halloween" remake, which I don't have a problem with at all (well, maybe I have a problem with the last 30 mins, which is merely a Xerox of John Carpenter's film). Still, as different as this new version, written by Chris Murphy, may be, I think there'll still be a few folks up-in-arms about it - largely people with the surname 'Macchio', 'Kove', 'Zabka' and 'Kamen'. I got to chat with a couple of folks that are working on the upcoming "Karate Kid" (and yes, as of today, it's still called "The Karate Kid" despite rumours it'd be retitled "The Kung Fu Kid" - which would make sense, considering it's Kung-Fu, not Karate, that our hero learns in the film) about just how ‘different' a film this'll be from the Ralph Macchio-Pat Morita movie. Well firstly, the story is essentially the same - kid forced to move with his mother to a new city. Gets beat up by some Bullies. Maintenance man teaches him martial-arts - but this one, being set in China, does play to a slightly different beat. Here's the storyline: Sherry is offered a transfer to China. Considering the U.S office is about to lay off everyone, it's really her only choice; especially since nobody else at the office has been offered a transfer. With her young son Dre (Jaden Smith) in tow, the single-mother makes Beijing her new home. Needless to say, not knowing Chinese, and experiencing a bit of culture shock, they both find it a little hard to settle in - - Dre especially. Like Daniel Larusso in the original film, Dre (who, unlike Larusso, is a skateboarding video-game buff) immediately catches the attention of the local bullies - in particular, Lui Wei Cheng. And before too long, Dre is going home with bruises (he tries to hide a black-eye under a cap by pulling it as far down his face as he can) and whining about wanting to return to the states. Dre's enrolled into a strict Beijing Middle School. His first day there is a bit of a shambles - the assistant principal spots his bruises, and assumes he's been fighting (which, of course, they don't accept under any circumstances), and he turns up in a school uniform, something he didn't have to wear that day (there's only certain days when a uniform is required). The Mr Myiagi character is actually named Mr. Han (Jackie Chan). He's the maintenance man of the apartment lock that Sherry and Dre have moved into, and meets the new residents when he's called over to fix their hot water service. From the bathroom, Han spots Dre practicing martial-arts kicks (unsuccessfully) in front of a video-game, and catches his black eye. Later, of course, he'll agree to teach him - both martial-arts and the Chinese language (so he can impress his mother by haggling over apples). The ‘John Kreese' character - the character played by Martin Kove in the original film - is Li Quan Ha, the owner of the Fighting dragon school of Kung-Fu. One visit to the school - in which Li Quan terrorizes his students (who range from the age of 3 onwards), namely Lui Wei Cheng - and Dre is immediately put off. Oh, and yes, there's a love interest - someone mother wants Dre to bring home for dinner. "The film has a similar tone to the original movie", I'm told. "There are a lot of funny lines - mainly delivered by Jackie Chan. It is actually a good script though, very good in fact. It's different enough to be considered its own beast too". We shall find out next year, when "The Karate Kid" is released! www.moviehole.net/200918909-exclusive-whos-who-in-the-karate-kid

Humanitarian award for Smith Will Smith has been honoured with a humanitarian award from a Jewish human rights organisation. The Simon Wiesenthal Centre presented the Hollywood star with its highest honour, the 2009 Humanitarian Award. The centre admires Smith's commitment to education, cultural diversity, and social responsibility. The Simon Wiesenthal Center is dedicated to generating change through education by confronting anti-semitism, hate and terrorism and promoting human rights. "I came down and saw the museum and I just really wanted to be a part of supporting what it means and what it stands for and I had such a fantastic experience," said Smith. The award was presented by Smith's Hancock co-star Charlize Theron. She said: "I've actually never met anybody like Will. I've never met anybody who has the effect that he has on people. "And putting all that aside, we all know that he opens movies like nobody's business, so it doesn't get any bigger than this guy. And if that's not enough to make your mouth drop he is one of the most genuine people you'll ever meet." http://itn.co.uk/55b5454bad629e7459b66b23373fc99c.html
