Sounds like a complete and utter fabrication by a Hollywood sleaze/gossip site.

Oh come on... This can NOT be true and if it was, what a turd it would be.

Ha! This news came out on 4/20! I know what they were smokin!

Interesting if true. Having Will Smith behind things could help move things along. I'm just not sure I would want him to star in it (can't think of anybody he would be good as), and I'm sure that if this is true, he would insist on playing a role.

I pretty much just agree with this

I seriously doubt this is true, and my fingers are double crossed that's it's not.

if will smith did star in a live action thundercats film would fans be upset because he's black? because they picture lion-o (if he's starring in it he's most likely playing lion-o) being played by a white actor. or would fans be upset because he's "will smith"? even though he was nominated for an oscar for "ali" many may feel he's not a great actor or just the wrong type of actor for this role.
personally the race issue doesn't bother me i'm just not sure i want the fresh prince of bel-air playing lion-o. though i wouldn't have a problem with tatyana ali playing cheetara.:)

Not sure about anybody else, but him being black isn't the issue for me. While I like him as an actor, I'm having a hard time picturing his style of acting working for any of the main characters. I would prefer his involvement be mainly behind the scenes, but if he absolutely insisted on having a role in the movie itself, a smaller/cameo type of roll would, imho, be better. His son on the other hand, would be a good fit for Wilykat, but I'm not sure anybody else would agree, lol.

Though thinking about this, I don't think Will would be a good pick for the roll, but I would find it funny if his son played the young Lion-O, and then he played the aged Lion-O (assuming they would stick to that story arch).

Let me guess, he wants his son Jaden to play Lion-O.

We're going to make a 30 minute live action pilot so if Will Smith is thinking about it, we can cast him as Panthro... LOL. Seriously?:eek:

I don't really believe this rumor at all, but if it was true, I wouldn't mind. I'd probably be a little excited. Will Smith hasn't really done/been in a bad movie yet. So all that "turd" talk is just hate.

And no matter how you feel about his style of acting, any personality added to Lion-O's character is a definite improvement. The original Lion-O has got to be the worst actor of any cartoon (if that's even possible).

I don't believe this is true for one second but if it were...I would love the idea! All the characters would be in makeup and costumes and "Big Willy" would make a great Lion-O! He is a tall athletic guy who is well proven as a lead actor and draws huge at the box office! What's there not to like?

Id rather drink my car's battery acid and be eaten by elderly women looking for coupons rather than have this come to reality. Im serious.:cool:

I remember someone posting an interview about a month or two back with Jada Picnkett (Will Smith's wife) where she says the rumor wasn't true.

Yeah. I'm fine with this being false for now.

I respect your opinion and I'm curious why you feel so strongly against the idea?

what he said

A ThunderCats movie produced/directed by Will Smith would be worse than Batman & Robin.
