Will Smith

A report surfaced this week that Will Smith is remaking the tearjerker Flowers for Algernon. Smith would star in the film and produce via his Overbrook Entertainment banner. There have been other adaptations, but the most famous one hails from 1968 and starred Cliff Robertson, who won the Oscar for playing Charly, a mentally challenged man who is a human test subject for a procedure that ups the intelligence quotient. The Algernon of the title is a lab mouse who also undergoes the surgery. When Charly learns the truth behind the experiment, the tissues come out big-time.

Will Smith and Son Jaden Smith

Will Smith and his son Jaden are on location in China, filming the remake of the Karate Kid.  While Smith is producing, his son Jaden, is receiving expert training from the one and only Jackie Chan.  Last time Will and Jaden teamed up for The Pursuit of Happyness, the movie grossed a total worldwide box office of $304,286,036.  Should be interesting to see what kind of “punch” this team can deliver once again.
