Turntable Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Phone Booth would have been dope. If he would have done Smith's they would have needet another girl I think. They dont match. It should have been Hally Barry or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Hero1 Posted October 14, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Denzel killed it in Man on Fire.. I don't think Will could have done as well.. in Just Cause Will could have pulled of the charming sections..but I wonder how he woulda gone as a crazy psycho..would have been an interesting role for him tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viktor Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 i wish he would had done Phonebooth, Man on fire and Truth about charlie. The actors who got the parts did a great job, and im acctually not sure if Will would have pulled it off (exept for charlie). When will Colin Farrell get an academy award? :S It would have been good for Will to do some thrillers instead of all these big-budget-blow-everything-up-action-komedies.
