Will Smith is currently promoting King Richard, the movie about the father of tennis players Venus and Serena Williams which seems to forecast at least one Oscar nomination for the actor. Regardless of how happy he is with this story of overcoming, sacrifice and fatherhood, Smith does not stop “Give cane” to old jobs of his filmography such as Wild wild west. The quality around that half western, half steampunk it has an obvious popular consensus that classifies it as one of the worst films in history. For this reason, his evident displeasure with that production is not surprising, but what is striking is that the actor has now taken it with I’m legend, la cinta postapocalíptica que usually like to a greater or lesser extent among his fans.
And that the film adaptation of the novel by Richard Matheson It was a real blockbuster in 2007, being one of the best premieres of that year, reaching worldwide revenues almost 600 million dollars, with a budget of 150 million. One of the controversies that the film has always aroused is the alternative ending that could be seen upon arrival I’m legend to the domestic market of DVD y Blu-ray. In the original ending, Will Smith’s character (Robert Neville) sacrificed himself so that Ethan and Anna could bring the cure to the military enclave of survivors.

The interpreter has declared in the Oprah program for Apple TV that he is not happy with the tape: “When they told me that we had broken records I was moved for about 30 seconds,” Smith pointed out that he believed that if they had adjusted the end to “Something more similar to Gladiator”, which was what he wanted, they could have raised a lot more. A thought that conflicted with the producer James Lassiter, who even hung up the phone on the actor.
After several comings and goings of productions that did not finish shining at the box office, the actor played a magical genius in the live action adaptation of Aladdin, collecting 1 billion worldwide. His catapult to the Oscars King Richard will be released simultaneously in theaters and HBO Max on November 19, while in Spain it will first see the light in cinemas the January 21 with the title The Williams method.
