  1. Why does it say PG? Wasn't it rated R?
  2. Warner Bros Connects With iPhone Salesman/Scribe’s Pitch For ‘I Am Legend’ Reboot EXCLUSIVE: After years of trying, Warner Bros finally has found a way to extend its hit Will Smith last-man-on-Earth blockbuster I Am Legend into a potential new franchise. The studio is working on a reboot that isn’t meant to star Smith, who has been reluctant to do sequels and so far has avoided a reprise in Independence Day 2. Warner is retrofitting A Garden At The End Of The World, a spec script that the studio bought back in April from Gary Graham, who was working at the Apple store in midtown Manhattan when he posted his script on the Black List website and got the attention of CAA and manager Brooklyn Weaver. They signed him and sent his script out. Amid several bids, Warner Bros acquired what was described as a sci-fi version of John Wayne’s The Searchers. When Graham was brought in to rewrite his script, the studio by then had talked to the I Am Legend producers and noted enough similarities to the themes and mythology of that film that they asked the scribe to consider a redraft to fit that property. Original I Am Legend producers Akiva Goldsman of Weed Road, Overbrook’s James Lassiter and Safehouse Pictures’ Joby Harold are on board to produce, along with Vertigo’s Roy Lee, and Weaver. The studio made a previous attempt to prequelize Legend, hiring Arash Amel to write a script that would have brought Smith’s Robert Neville scientist character back, right before the calamitous events that left him alone on the planet. They just couldn’t figure it out and scrapped the attempt. The 2007 original grossed $586 million worldwide, $256 million of it domestic. This would not be the first time that a free-standing script was retrofitted to extend a franchise. The Jonathan Hensleigh script Simon Says was turned into Die Hard With A Vengeance; George Nolfi’s script Honor Among Thieves became the basis for Ocean’s Twelve and most recently, Adam Cozad’s Dubai into the Jack Ryan reboot. As for Graham, he is now a long way from selling iPhones and is making a solid living as a New York-based screenwriter. CAA and Weaver still rep Graham, along with lawyer Jeff Frankel. WB’s Andy Fischel is overseeing this. Jonathan Krauss and Ian Puente, who were very involved when this project was sold as an original, will be exec producers. http://deadline.com/2014/10/i-am-legend-reboot-sold-by-iphone-salesman-warner-bros-will-smith-844507/

  10. From Alfonso's Facebook: It's funny to me how the tabloids have been saying I have an unfair advantage on this season of DWTS. I haven't danced since I was a kid and the only dance I trained in was Tap Dancing. I took a few jazz classes as a teenager. But that is all the work I've done. There are people on this season that have way more dance training than I. Lea was a pro ballerina. And Janel has trained a ton more than I. Also I could name 20 people that have more training than I on previous seasons. I'm working really hard to do the best I can every week. I hope people will see the truth. I love you all and hope you continue to watch and support teamwitfonso.
  11. From Jada's Facebook: Will, Some of the best moments of my life have been kissing you:) You have been such a gift to me and a gift of light to the world! Happy Birthday Sweets and as you always tell me...I love you to the moon. Your wife:)

  13. Cool interview with Alfonso: http://www.etonline.com/tv/151516_alfonso_ribeiro_addresses_his_dwts_edge/index.html
  14. Martin Lawrence posted this on his Facebook: Are they EVEN considering the option of not having Will in the third part? There have been some rumors since Martin said there will be a third one insinuating that maybe Will won't appear in the movie. I mean, are you serious? How can you make a 'Bad Boys' movie without Will? How can you make a 'Bad Boys' movie without Martin? It makes no sense at all..
  15. Alfonso Ribeiro Asked Will Smith For Permission to Use "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It" on Dancing With the Stars Two things have always been true: Carlton Banks can dance, and his cousin Will has his back! Alfonso Ribeiro performed with his pro partner Witney Carson to Will Smith's 1997 hit "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It" during Dancing With the Stars on Monday, Sept. 22 -- only after asking his former The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air costar and Smith's longtime collaborator Jazzy Jeff for permission first. "First I had to clear it, so Jazzy Jeff had cleared the song and then Will's people had not gotten it to him. And it just wasn't clearing. So when I found out it wasn't cleared, I texted him and said, 'Hey man, I want to use your song' and he immediately wrote back, 'I'm on it!'" Ribeiro told Us Weekly, after receiving a 32 out of 40 score for his performance. The song was cleared two hours later, Ribeiro explained, which put the show's music supervisors at ease. "Sometimes you gotta go big Willie style and get it done!" Ribeiro, 43, said. "I think he's going to love it," Ribeiro told Us, adding in Smith's voice: "His feedback will be like, 'Yo those judges were crazy, man! That dance was awesome! They trippin boy!'"
