If Will isn't in an action comedy, blockbuster or thriller then there's nothing to see:camby:


Still no Bad Boys 3 because of him holding it up:camby::shaq2:

I wanted Will to do Django and disagreed with his reasons for not doing it but that's besides the point; you're right, he should take more risks and do things outside of the will smith box which is why the two projects he has lined up after this one interest me and this one just doesn't. Will clearly wants to be in that category of the best actors today because if not, he wouldn't do movies like Ali or Seven Pounds or Pursuit of happyness etc, movies where he can contend for oscars and really establish that he has chops and he does; Will is a great actor but he normally does saddle himself with roles or movies that aren't really pushing anything and he should stop handpicking his directors because those directors won't push for anything great to come out of him. There's a reason DiCaprio and Scorsese work or DeNiro and Scorsese work and it's because he pushes to get all time great performances out of them and out of his actors.

Johnny isn't rebelling against anything, he's just doing what he wants to do because he knows he can do a pirates of the caribbean movie and be set for life continuously. He's picking things that interest him even if they're not necessarily good or a hit and that's cool but at the same time, he's also become very routine. Like a role like Mortecai is a typical Depp role these days where he keeps trying to redo Jack Sparrow over and over just in different shades and again, people seem bored with it. The last time I was excited for a Johnny Depp movie was Public Enemies and that wasn't great by any means although he was great in it but that was back in 2009


Well Will is doing a drama called "Concussion" taking on the NFL which I'm sure there will be a lot of hype and talk cause it's dropping during Football season. I think he might get some Oscar buzz possibly.
