Fox is a much better actor.

WTF are you whores talking about? Will Smith is not only one of the highest grossing actors in the biz today, he's also one of the best. An A-lister in my book. He definitely runs the summer blockbuster ring, there's no doubting that, but to say he can't do much more is just bogus. He's probably the most versatile actor out right now as well. You want action? He does it, and does it well. You want comedy? He does it, and does it well. You want romance? He does it, and does it well. You want drama? He does it, and does it well. You want some not-so-serious fun? He does that, and does it better than anyone.

I'm telling you guys, Will Smith hasn't quite broken the stigma of being a goofy, rapper-turned-actor to everyone yet, but he's been a pretty damn good actor for a while now.

Who said he's not a good actor? What I said was, he doesn't take risks.

Well you said he doesn't bother with anything other than summer blockbusters, but two of his most recent films Seven Pounds and Pursuit of Happyness could hardly be qualified as summer blockbusters. Then durtyrute said he "couldn't pull it off". So I had to disagree.

There was absolutely nothing risky about either of those roles, other than risking boring everybody to death.

Can you give me some examples of risky roles, please?

Lots of actors circled the title role for Quentin Tarantino's DJANGO UNCHAINED - Will Smith, Idris Elba - but one actor has apparently signed on the line that is dotted - Jamie Foxx, who will join Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L. Jackson, and Christoph Waltz in Tarantino's "Southern", his slave drama film, to be released in 2012,

Foxx is no stranger to dramatic roles, having won the Oscar for RAY, and I think he's a good choice. My personal favorite was Elba, but Foxx is no slouch and will work well with the cast. I just want to see this thing - I haven't read the script. I read INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS and regretted it - it was such a rich script that I wish I'd held out and experienced it first on the big screen. Won't be making that mistake this time. DJANGO UNCHAINED is being produced by the Weinstein Company

I read about 20 pages of it, then decided that I'd rather wait until the movie came out. Script was great up to the point I stopped reading.

By the way... I wish Will would have done it. He and Leonardo are my favorite actors so the two of them being in the same movie.... epic.

Good tadte in actors.

I think most of Will Smith's movies are unwatchable garbage. Not that it's his fault, it's just that they're cornball crap.

blaise 06-23-2011 07:04 AM

I wonder if the deal breaker was because Tarantino wouldn't give a role to Will's kids.

yea, i wish he would have done it as well....in fairness, we have no idea what happened...if he turned it down, if the money couldnt be worked out....or maybe QT didnt think he was right for the part?
