That being said however, I felt that it was past due that I offer up at least some kind of meager update on his career.<br /><br /> That last time we saw a <a href="http://newwillsmithmovies.blogspot.com/">new Will Smith movie</a> in theaters, he was starring in the Christmas Season release, Seven Pounds, and garnering some positive reviews for a serious yet moving character portrayal which some thought was maybe too dark an offering for the Holiday Season. Well nothing else is definite or truly confirmed by Smith's press people as of this writing, but there are a few runours out there concerning what his next projects might be. If you were to go to the movie industry website imdb.com today and browse will smith's profile there, you would find that he is listed as being involved in over twenty different projects that are all currently listed as being 'in development'. That is staggering even for Hollywood where actors names are constantly being attached to numerous projects at once. I offer you this list of potential future <span style="font-weight: bold;">Will Smith movies</span> in its entirety:<br /><br /><br /><blockquote><br /> 1. The American Can<br /> 2. Untitled Will Smith/Chef Jeff Project<br /> 3. My Wife Hates Your Wife<br /> 4. The Long Run<br /> 5. Untitled I Am Legend Prequel<br /> 6. Cooked<br /> 7. The Billionaire's Vinegar<br /> 8. Angelology<br /> 9. The Last Pharaoh<br /> 10. Amulet<br /> 11. Old Boy<br /> 12. Greenbacks<br /> 13. It Takes a Thief<br /> 14. Welcome to the Sticks<br /> 15. Extra Protection<br /> 16. Unfinished Business<br /> 17. Time Share<br /> 18. Brushback<br /> 19. Newton's Law<br /> 20. Sisters of Mercy<br /> 21. Empire<br /> 22. Untitled Courage Crew Project<br /> (list courtesy of imdb.com)<br /></blockquote><br /> Of all of these, only a handful have really been receiving much attention from fans and or the media so far. The I Am Legend prequel has been talked about by Smith fans, but I don't really get the feeling that smith himself is all that worked up about it at this time. The Last Pharaoh has also been covered in the media and this one seems to have more legs since smith has expressed some interest in possibly making this his "pet project" after his self imposed hiatus from acting. The basic gist of Pharaoh is that Smith would play Taharqa, an Egyptian pharaoh who defended his land from Assyrian invaders in the 7th century BC. The Last Pharaoh is being written by Randall Wallace (Braveheart) for Columbia Pictures, based upon a story idea that Smith is reported to have wanted to see made into a movie for a very long time.now. This is the project that I most expect to hear about as the next choice for Smith.<br /><br /> Only time will tell, I guess.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/825463193048726927-1524541302178627687?l=newwillsmithmovies.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stephenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12714279271305674781noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-825463193048726927.post-19202295632540951912009-02-21T14:28:00.000-08:002009-02-21T14:35:47.329-08:00Welcome to my brand new Will Smith movie news/update site; this is my second effort along these lines, my first such effort being the short lived site, hancockmovie.blogspot.com. For obvious reasons deciding to continue on covering upcoming Will Smith movie projects with a site URL named for a previous movie seems a little limiting in its appeal so hence the move to this new - and hopefully more inclusive - site.<br /><br /> Nothing much to report here; if you want a review of the latest Will Smith movie, Seven Pounds, you can find that <a href="http://hancockmovie.blogspot.com/2009/02/will-smith-seven-pounds-movie-review.html">Seven Pounds movie review</a> at my old site, hancockmovie.blogspot.com.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/825463193048726927-1920229563254095191?l=newwillsmithmovies.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stephenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12714279271305674781noreply@blogger.com0
