so Will Smith turned down Quentin to do a flick w/ M. Night Shyamalan?

Will has a history of making some dumbass choices when it comes to scripts....Wild Wild West anyone.

Will Smith said almost close to join Quentin's Django Unchained. Here the source.

"I came really close, it was one of the most amazing screenplays I had ever ever seen," Smith said. "I was in the middle of 'Men In Black 3' and [Tarantino] was ready to go, and I just couldn't sit with him and get through the issues, so I didn't want to hold him up. That thing's going to be ridiculous. It is a genius screenplay."

I'm in the minority here but I kind of like his movies and always find messages in then that relate to society and don't take the movie at face value necessarily

Yeah, Will Smith is a good actor, and respected at that. He has done the oscar type films, but they don't seem to sell as well as his action films so you can't really blame the man. If I was him I would do the same thing. And this Shylaman guy might just get alot of people seeing his film simply because Will Smith is in it so it should rake in some cash, but it doesn't necessarily mean its good. The guy is a terrible writer so luckily on this film he is collaborating with others in the writing process. We'll see what happens...

He's getting paid, putting his kids on, and guaranteed to bring in at least 150 million box office.

unless it flops because it sucks because M Night makes shitty films and oh yeah he's not even the star, just a glorified supporting role.

Ahhhhhhh, Fuck Tarantino.

"Django" looks like the live action version of "Catcher Freeman" from the Boondocks.

Will passed on Spike directing "Ali" in favor of Michael Mann.

lol @ Catcher Freeman

"After Earth" will not flop, it has Jaden and Will Smith in it. Listen outside of picking Wild, Wild West over The Matrix, Will knows his lane and picks the right parts. He did MIB3 over Django cause he was out of the game for 4 years and needed a film to land softly back in the box office with. It worked, MIB 3 has grossed over 600 Million WW and is in the Top 3 highest grossing films of the year.

Django will not see that type of box office. M. Knight has been hit or miss. 6th Sense, Unbreakable and Signs were all good, only 6th Sense was Classic but the others was still good. The Village, Lady in the Water, Happening and The Last Airbender were average to terrible. Will is going to save M. Knight's career. No way "After Earth" flops.

how much screen time is Will even gonna have in this film? the synopsis makes him sound like a supporting character

u kinda sounding like a fan here. Lady in the Water & Airbender are universally acknowledged as ASS. Airbender is unforgivable because that franchise shoulda been a blockbuster home-run for any director. Lady in the Water is some shit where you read the synopsis and wonder how the fuck dude convinced a studio to give him $75 mil to film the thing. Village & Happening were ruined by their retarded plot twists.

M Night is like that nigga that drop one classic debut album then fall off

anyways, m. night's movies have been total dog shit. Signs was his last semi-decent movie, and really that was kind of dumb. Aliens smart enough for interspace travel, but not smart enough to know that earth is 70% water and water kills them? c'mon man...
