Will Smith

If you haven’t seen the pictures from all of The Karate Kid movie openings, here are a few from Spain. Jaden Smith was accompanied by parents, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith, and sister, Willow, for the premiere of The Karate Kid in Spain. Here they are playing it up for the crowd and having a great time.

If you’ve been on the edge of your seat to learn more about the upcoming film, Men in Black 3 with Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, you don’t need to wait any longer. Here’s the up-to-the-minute scoop.

Men in Black 3 is scheduled to begin shooting in New York in September. The majority of the film, according to insiders, will take place in 1969 due to a time traveling enemy (Jemaine Clement) who will force Jay (Will Smith) to follow him to the past. Barry Sonnenfeld will be on board to direct with a script written by David Koepp.

And if you like to have your calendar organized nice and early – make sure to mark May 25, 2012 as the start date for the latest in the Men in Black series.

According to Variety, Will Smith, James Lassiter and Ken Stovitz of Overbrook Entertainment are all teaming up with Debbie Allen to produce a film about African-American neuroscience professor Dr. S. Allen Counter. Farhad Safinia has been tapped to pen the script.

Smith has worked with Dr. Counter in the past for projects for Haiti relief. Dr. Counter is the current director of the Harvard Foundation of Harvard University and he is a professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School.

Here’s a great video of The Karate Kid star, Jaden Smith, with his parents Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith during the opening of the movie in Berlin. Enjoy clips from the film and an amusing interview with the Smith family, lead by Will Smith.

Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith, Jaden Smith and Willow Smith hit Germany this week for the premiere there of The Karate Kid. The premiere was in Berlin, Germany on Monday, July 19th.

Jaden posed for pictures and signed autographs in the German capital.

The Karate Kid finally hit London, as the premiere took place on July 16th, 2010. Producers Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith were there to support Jaden, their 12 year old son and the star of the remake.

When asked about her son, Jada Pinkett Smith said, “You know, it’s Will and I… I just felt like two artists would create a little artist. When he was born he used to love dancing to Michael Jackson…. And then as he got older, he had some real skills.”

Will Smith explained that Jaden “didn’t have the shock and the radical life change that child actors usually have coming into the business.’

Crowds in India are, apparently, going wild over the new Karate Kid movie, starring Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan and produced by Will Smith.

As Kercy Daruwala, managing director at Sony Pictures, said, “We are expecting the numbers to go up in the coming week following positive word-of- mouth publicity. Many shows drew full houses during the weekend.”

Bollywood loves Jackie Chan, and, according to the article, this is the highest grossing Jackie Chan movie in India to date.

Listen to Will Smith, in his own words, discuss his work ethic and his philosophy about life. It’s certainly a very worthwhile six minutes!

For anyone who hasn’t seen this interview, it’s a fascinating viewing. Here are Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith interviewing President Barack Obama after the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize Concert.

Not only is young Jaden Smith, son to Will Smith, an acting sensation in the remake of The Karate Kid, but he’s got his father’s rapping talent as well.  He can be heard singing on one of the songs from the soundtrack to the new film by Columbia Pictures.

He is a guest artist on the single “Never Say Never” which is sung by teen sensation Justin Bieber.  Watch the video here and enjoy seeing how the apple certainly doesn’t fall far from the tree.
