Will Smith, Jay-Z Remaking Movie Musical Annie

[emeraldrafael]

Ugh. This has fail written all over it, just like The Karate Kid with his son.

Look, will, we know you're talented. Really, we do. But that doesnt mean your kids are.

 

[emeraldrafael]

OHHHHHH! WILLOW Smith! Dam it Liz!
The Big question is: Will they die her afro red?

More over will they give her "white" freckles?

More over, while they make her play in white face.

I know, that sounds horrible, but lets face it, there's no Daddy Warbucks figures in the Ghetto.

I like Will Smith.. but this is not a tale that needs to be remade.. And trying to be sensative here, but Annie is all about a little red headed girl, thats the essence of the movie and plays and musicals and.. I am ok with reimaging.. but this is just wrong. Are we 100% out of movies?

Green text? In MY Escapist? It's more likely than you think.

Ugh why?

 

[Littaly]

On occasion I feel spoiled. I feel like my life is served to me on a silver platter by my parents. Like I'm a lame, irresponsible parody of the middle class suburban kid who will never ever know what it's like to work for what I have. Then I look at Will Smith's kids.

 

[RatRace123]

Will Smith, buddy, you're a great actor, versatile and all that.
But, pimping out movies for your kids... eh. I, I don't know. It doesn't fly with me.

Maybe you have to accept that your kids aren't as talented as you.

 

[The Imp]

First they rape my childhood memory with the Karte Kid remake and then proceed to kill Annie?! I...i..don't know what to say. I'm shellshocked.

 

[That's Funny]

What is this, I don't even?

Oh god no, note to Will Smith, stop forcing your children on us, we are beginning to hate them. Especially Willow for the abomination of a song.

 

[lazinesslord]

YOU FOOL! Don't jinx it!

Yes yes, I know this will earn me the burning rage of a thousand white hot blinding suns of hateful fury and possibly a suspension, but it:
1. Looks really neat
2. Will confuse a few people
3. Brings my point across.
Also, WHY?!
WHY THIS?!?!

 

[Quiet Stranger]

Willow should go die and this movie should NEVER BE MADE! You can't do Annie without a creepy ginger kid!


I'll fucking whip YOUR hair ya dumb *****!

 

[mikespoff]

Apparently, "the spectacular Jay-Z" made a "spectacular song".

In related news, please get a thesaurus and a sense of proportion. Neither the song nor the artist are "spectacular".

(IMHO, of course).

 

[EllEzDee]

I don't see what the problem is...Annie was a horrifying to begin with. I still have nightmares of that ginger kid.

 

[silasbufu]

Oh, well this doesn't seem so bad! I guess that...

The film, which marks the first feature film collaboration between the two, is being imagined as a star vehicle for Smith's 10-year-old daughter, Willow.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Seriously, why is he trying to make his children so popular? My parents didn't force me into anything. Doesn't he realize this could seriously mess them up?

I'm pretty sure it's the other way around.
Probably a huge percentage of teen-age girls want to be singers, most of them don't have the talent or realise it's stupid later on (alot later). She doesn't have any talent whatsoever, but daddy has the dollars to make anything happen.

 

[emeraldrafael]

I'm curious to see how many of the folks here raving and ranting have actually seen the film or the stage play - or are just being negative on principle.

I've seen both (well... a taping of the stage play) and I can faithfully say neither would benefit from this.

YOU DO NOT GREEN TEXT OUTSIDE OF 4chan!

Anyways, when I saw thism I felt obliged to leave a comment that only said "BLACK AND YELLOW BLACK AND YELLOW" ad nausem. Good thing I didn't.

Instead:

 

[esperandote]

Those are one of the worst song and video i've seen. I don't doubt the girl is talented but that video certainly doesn't show it, too much auto tune and the genre is not for her age and she still doesn't look like a woman for that actitude.
