A Box Office War Between Mr. and Little Miss Smith

PopSugar — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 15:30:00 -0700

Another day, another Hancock premiere for Will Smith and Charlize Theron. The actors opened the Moscow Film Festival yesterday with smiles, though they looked a little less overly friendly than Wednesday's red carpet. While Will was running around Europe his daughter, Willow, premiered Kit Kittredge in NYC last night. Both Hancock and Kit Kittredge are opening on July 2nd and when asked about beating her dad in the box office Willow said, “I think I’ll be the biggest flashing star...Yes…I’m going to post up on daddy’s movie. Willow is the star.” Sounds like there's another Smith looking to own Independence Day weekend.

Will Brings His Legend to France

Will Smith wasn't home to celebrate I Am Legend breaking box office records this weekend, but I'm sure he managed to have a great time in Paris promoting the movie. As if he doesn't have enough reason to smile, his Legend director, Francis Lawrence, is more than willing to boost Will's ego. He said, "He's one of the only people that I can truly say kind of has all of that. He's funny, he's charming, he's smart, he's handsome, he's happy, he's got a great marriage, he's a great father, he's great at what he does, he's happy at what he does. It's sort of disgusting. So if anybody would be the last man standing, it's Will." Plus, he's obviously still a box office titan, and we're already getting a taste for his next picture. Buzz has the teaser trailer for Hancock which is a little cringe-inducing (but just a little), but with Charlize Theron, Jason Bateman and Will, I have faith it will be a lot of fun.

Will Smith Knows How to Laugh It Off

PopSugar — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 11:00:54 -0800

Will Smith smiled big for the cameras on the red carpet at the I Am Legend premiere tonight in Tokyo. Even though he's taken on many serious roles since his Fresh Prince days, Will is still a jokester at heart and his comedic side came out at his press conference on Tuesday. Apparently one of the reporters in the audience fell asleep during the event, but rather than lose his temper Will asked to have his picture taken with the reporter, and even pretended to be asleep. No doubt the journalist was a little embarrassed, but at least Will didn't yell at him like a another star we know of.

Will Smith Is Hopefully Lost in Translation

Molly — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 12:53:38 -0800

Will Smith arrived in Tokyo for a press conference to promote I Am Legend today. He was looking pretty dapper in his suit, which I assume we'll be seeing a lot of as he premieres this one all around the world. While the movie is based on the premise of Will thinking he's the last man alive, his daughter Willow makes a cameo in the film. According to her dad, she's already a bit of a diva. He said, "You don't work with Willow. You work for Willow." He also said that while Jayden is the Johnny Depp of the family, Willow is more like, well, a different kind of personality. "Willow is Paris Hilton . . . Willow wants to be on TV." Let's just hope that her similarities to Paris end with the desire to be on television.
