Will Smith + Thundercats = AWESOMENESS!
Quote:
WILL Smith wants to make a Thundercats movie!
The Hollywood superstar is said to be looking to develop and star in a live action movie based on the cult cartoon capers of a group of cat people whose space ship crashes on a mysterious planet. “Will is a big Thundercats fan and even his kids are into it now,” says a source close to the Smiths. “Will is looking to develop a script and possibly work with (wife) Jada on the project.” |

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

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 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. |

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?

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?

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.

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