Rama’s SCREEN

Will Smith is getting more and more influential these days… he can have his own children play his kids in any of his movies that requires him to play a dad and now he wants his choice of writer to do the script for his next movie. He’s acting like a true prince of Bel-Air.

Remember the info about Spielberg and Will Smith teaming up to remake a Korean awesomeness called OLDBOY? According to Hollywood Reporter, co-writer of I Am Legend, Mark Protesevich, is in talks to adapt and write an American version based on the original 2003 South Korean sensation about a man who is locked in a room for 15 years without knowing why or who is holding him captive. He is suddenly released, given money, clothes and a cellphone and is sent on journey to find those responsible and team ‘em a lesson they’ll never forget.

Mark Protesevich has also written a draft for THOR movie which will be directed by Kenneth Branagh. Previously, he may have screwed up by writing POSEIDON the remake which was an embarrassment to mankind but I’m a big fan of his work on the 2000 visual-feast supernatural thriller THE CELL starring Jennifer Lopez.
So having a big reliable name like Will Smith vouch for him could bring some peace of mind to OLDBOY the remake but there’s still that possibility he might pull a ‘Poseidon‘ instead.
