Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
That's why its so much comic movies, hobits, hunger games. Star wars coming back.....


They should do a new Predator and have Will be the gully human that has to defeat it in some war zone. Afghanistan maybe.

His team of soldiers gets deployed, they think its the Afghans killing em. Come to find out them Afghans getting murked too. And its a artifact in the poppy fields. And them invisible ass Predators just puttin in work. And Big Willy gotta Bad Boys/independencr day their ass. shyt
:obama:

that's actually a dope idea... i'd go see it.. they already redid terminator, robocop and starting aliens from the prequel to a sequel now... shyt might as well let will bring that shyt back

I hate to say this, but Will Smith thought the rules didn't apply to him, mostly ALL of his successful movies are films in which he fits a stereotypical role expectant of a "black guy". Even Hancock, one of Smith's first attempts at open interracial relationships on film (besides Hitch), did exceptionally well because of the racial undertones encoded in the film (stay away from white women). But "Focus", is the horrible reality of race which Hancock turned into a "fun film", which is that the world doesn't accept a handsome powerful black man with an equally beautiful and powerful white woman by his side. Unfortunately it's "unnatural" because we haven't evolved as a human race.

However, 50 Shades of Grey, which features two very mediocre performers, with careers to match is a box office success. And it's about a man with emotional issues, sexually abusing his sadomasochistic "virgin" girlfriend".

A white man can have sex with eight foot tall aliens and save their planet and it's more acceptable than a handsome black man and an attractive white woman being seen as sexual equals. Low key, about a year ago there was rumors Twilight's Kristen Stewart turned down the role because Will Smith was black.

:wow:
:comeon: Low Key? There was a big thread discussion on this forum about it: http://www.thecoli.com/threads/kristen-stewart-drops-out-of-film-after-will-smith-signs-on.107115/

Just make better movies, or follow the path things are already going on. Keep big budget event films (marvel, dc, star wars, pixar, transformers) to theaters, and push everything else to on demand. Save some on the marketing budget, cut down the theater cut, have more room to take chances with the stories.

Movie theater experience is shyt now anyways. I can't even go to an 11am sunday showing of something without people making noise or bringing babies. I'd rather be at home for any kind of movie except the ones i mentioned above.

Hollywood box office superstars are only dying because Hollywood has desperately tried to push a bunch of uncharismatic buff white dudes on us for years. Guys who don't have an ounce of screen presence, can't emote and lack the single most important thing for stardom, likability.

Chris Pratt is on his way though. In fact, if he becomes the new Indiana Jones, he's pretty much there.
