Ale Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) I smell a Oscar nomination... :) Let's wait and see the movie. I thought he'd be nominated after seeing the trailer for 'Seven Pounds', but after seeing the movie I thought he didn't deserve it because, although his performance was quite good, it looked like he was trying really hard and it didn't feel natural to me, something which did happen in 'The Pursuit Of Happyness'. So let's wait and see. We don't even have a trailer yet But yeah, I know what you mean. We can't help thinking this movie is gonna give Will some awards ;) On the other hand, I like the fact that they chose December 25th as the release date, but it's only 1 week after the release date for the new 'Star Wars' movie, so I don't think that's a good move when it comes to 'Concussion' Box Office.

Ale Posted February 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 An interview with Gugu It makes a change from her last gig, playing Will Smith’s wife in the NFL whistleblower drama Concussion. During one gruelling day on the film’s Pittsburgh set: ‘We were shooting a club scene and the extras had to dance to the same song for eight hours,’ Gugu recalls. ‘Everyone was exhausted, so Will jumped up on the decks and started doing The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air song, and everybody sang along. It wasn’t egotistical; it was a morale booster. You spend any time around Will Smith and you learn how to be a movie star.’ http://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/esmagazine/i-love-period-dramas-being-biracial-i-wasnt-necessarily-going-to-turn-up-on-downton-abbey-gugu-mbatharaw-interview-10010888.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr K Posted April 24, 2015 Members Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/features/432775-cinemacon-the-sony-pictures-presentationSony was at Cinemacon and while they obviously focused on some of the more high profile releases (or those that will be released sooner than December) they did show a scene from Concussion ... supposedly it looks like a very "dramatic and emotional film" with Smith disappearing into the role due to his south african accent.Here's the excerpt:Concussion (December 25)Directed by Peter Landesmann (Parkland), this drama starring Will Smith involves the very dangerous reality of concussion injuries and deaths in the NFL, and they showed a scene of Smith addressing a meeting of players to talk to them about those they have lost due to concussions. Smith plays Dr. Bennet Omalu from the Brain Injury Research Institute and Smith’s South African accent really made him disappear into the role as he addressed the doctors in attendance (including one played by Alec Baldwin). There wasn’t much more to this than that extended scene, which made it seem like this is going to be a very dramatic and emotional film.

gosia Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 damn, looks like they don't hold back much, i'm excited for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Julie Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 This gets me a bit more excited. When I hear it's about American football my eyes glaze over a bit, but it's not really about the football, it's about a mans fight to prove something against a huge company. Will really wants his oscars lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
