And the last great movie star is??
Years ago, producers could put particular movie stars in their movie and be confident that their film would bring in plenty of people to fill the seats of theatres across the nation. You could throw Paul Newman or Jimmy Stewart in a movie and count on success. Even a few years ago, Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt could guarantee a moderate success.
Now, most big-name actors have at least one or two flops under their belt. In addition to that, movie-goers seem to have more interest in the quality of the plot and characters than the number of big-name stars appearing in the flick. A lot of quality independent movies have been hitting it big on the box-office charts lately without the assistance of big-name actors. There only seems to be one last movie star who can guarantee success in the box-office…
and that is the fresh prince
Seriously….I don’t even know what his next movie is about. Does anyone have any clue? I’ve gathered this from the dozen or so trailers I’ve seen for it: its a drama, and it stars Will Smith. That’s it. I do not know what this movie is about but I want to see it. Why? Cause its got freaking Will Smith. A lot of people didn’t like ‘Hancock’ so I guess we’ll see if he’s still has what it takes to bring a movie to the top of the charts.
Also, I sort of appreciate the fact that the entire movie is not given away in the trailer. I saw Will Smith on with Leno and he said that they could not put much content in the trailer because any small detail could give too much away.
Watch the trailer for 7 pounds
