Ale Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 'The City That Sailed' being produced by Smith's Overbrook Francis Lawrence may be reuniting with his "I Am Legend" star Will Smith for a fantastical drama titled "The City That Sailed" at Twentieth Century Fox. The director is developing the project, which is being produced by Smith's Overbrook banner, with an eye to direct. Written by Andrew Niccol, the story follows a New York City street magician whose daughter, because of family circumstances, lives in England. In exploring a lighthouse one day, the girl discovers a room with magic candles and wishes to be reunited with her father, causing the island of Manhattan to break away and drift across the Pond. The studio picked up the spec in 2006. No deals are made for either Lawrence or Smith. Lawrence is simultaneously developing "Water for Elephants" at Fox 2000 as well as "The World Without Us," also at Fox. It is unknown which project will go first. Smith has also yet to choose his next project to follow his drama "Seven Pounds." Lawrence is repped by CAA and 3 Arts Entertainment. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/film/news/e3i4922fa0cb13ab365566be7249f2b7e3f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radewart Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 That sounds really awful. Though, its from the writer of "The Truman Show" which was great! However, I really want Will to work with better directors!!!! It's getting really frustrating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radewart Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 I was able to get access to the script for 'City that Sailed" If anybody wants it give me your email. It's a silly script filled with cliches and cheesey moments, but it also has great action and would have real "wow" moments with incredible visuls, if the fx guys pull it off. In this version, the main character is big shot in New York's homland security. He is separate from his wife and young daughter who live in Spain, and his wife is about to marry a big soccer superstar named Javier. His daughter makes a wish on a magic snowglobe that her father and mother would be reunited, and then the island of Manhattan breaks off and sails away toward Spain!

Ale Posted November 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 (edited) I think I know who'll play his daughter.. Just kidding. This movie sounds like a movie for kids, but the visual effects should be fantastic. Edited November 15, 2013 by Ale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Hero1 Posted November 16, 2013 Admin Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 This could be the end of Will Smith's movie career... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ale Posted November 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 The movie got the right director (Shawn Levy from the Night At A Museum franchise) And got the right writer (Audrey Wells from Under The Tuscan Sun), so I think nothing could go wrong... No offence, but the movies you mentioned are "wrong" for me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fan 4ever Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 This could be the end of Will Smith's movie career... Have to agree with you on this one Tim! Damn...it will be another family movie and by that I mean that he will do the movie with his daughter! This sucks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Julie Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 I doubt Willow will be in this, she quit Annie because she doesnt want to do movies right now. Its not something that i want but its not gonna be the end of his career, its something for the kids, this kinda stuff gets load of ticket sales. Just coz we dont like it, doesnt mean no-one else will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Simon Lerkot Berglind Posted November 16, 2013 Members Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 If they dont use Willow, they will use Jaden with long hair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BWS.com Posted November 17, 2013 Members Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) I dont think that Willow is starring in that movie. She decided to make a career as singer and is actually making nothing because it was too much for her. Didn´t Will Smith tell that he wont push his kids until they want it themselve? So i dont think this is gonna happen. Im hoping not! (And maybe: She is too old for that kind of magic!)
