Los Angeles: Star Will Smith shared and surprised everyone that he turned down the main role of filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s “establishment” as he “did not understand the story”. Smith shared an anecdote during a recent interview with the radio station Kiss Xtra (through Hafpost).
Hollywood star Leonardo Dickaprio headed the cerebral action thriller instead, instead, reported the Variety.com. “I don’t think I have ever said it publicly, but I am going to say it because we are opening to each other,” Smith said. He said: “Chris Nolan brought me ‘Inception’ and I have never found. I have never said loudly. Now that I think about it, it is in films that go to those alternative realities … They do not pitch well.
But I am also hurt by those people. “Nolan’s blockbuster opened in theaters and grossed $ 839 million at the box office worldwide.
While Smith knows that rejecting “Inception” was a career blunder, it was not painful in the retrospective as its decision to reject Neo in “The Matrix”. This part went to Keenu Reavs, which gave him a prestigious action franchise. Smith said during the radio interview: “This is very bad to talk.” Smith posted a YouTube video in 2019 stating why he turned down “The Matrix”.
The main reason was that he did not connect with the pitch of Vachowski brothers and sisters, which he said that his intended direction was more about the style and not about the real story. Smith again said to the pitch: “We are thinking … imagine that you are in a fight. You, like, jump.
Imagine if you can stop jumping in the middle of the jump. But then, people could see around 360 degrees around you, while you stop jumping. We are going to invent these cameras and then people can see the entire jump when they stop in the middle of jumping. ,
Then there was “django unwanted”, which was introduced by Quentin Tartino before he went with Zammy Foxx in the title role.
