Matrix: this what they took from you

In 1996, the Wachowskis pitched the role of Neo to Will Smith. Smith explained on his YouTube channel that the idea was for him to be Neo, while Morpheus was to be played by Val Kilmer. He later explained that he did not quite understand the concept and he turned down the role to instead film Wild Wild West

we could’ve lived in a world where Smith did a Matrix rap instead of a Wild Wild West rap

would have been shit and not memorable like the thing we actually got

Will Smith is too much of goofball to play neo, he would be terrible. Would’ve ruined with the matrix with dumb jokes and loud "aww hell nahs”.

Keanu is a subpar actor and will would have elevated matrix to something more the sequels were boring

Ayy yo this sum kinda simulayshin??

Lord knows those movies could've used some relatability and less pretentious drivel

>faggot cuck Neo
Hard pass.

Yeah good thing the got the guy Bill an Ted

This, anything would've been better than the blank stare having can't-act-4-shit charisma blackhole we got instead

Y'SAYIN I CAN DODGE LEAD, MA NIGGA?

That's actually probably the real reason he turned it down. More ways to market himself with Wild Wild West vs something serious like The Matrix. But after WWW flopped he did start doing more serious movies so he probably realized the movie/music combo train was over.

>I don't understand, why can't I have a song released next to this movie? What do you mean they want a rage against the machine song for the credits? I'm already in the studio.

one nigger too much in this film. thank god his ape brain didnt understand the movie

>Turned down “The Matrix”
>Turned down “Django Unchained”
>Turned down marrying someone not Jada Pinkett

It’s impressive his career is as good as it is despite such mistakes.

who would the they be? will smith? he took away his own role from you?

Val Kilmer would’ve been kino

Django Unchained is a completely forgettable film and he got offered that role way after the peak of his career so why would it change anything?

a giant mechanical spider makes more sense than
>uh the whole world is an illusion and in the matrix there are these computer programs that chase you and they can dodge bullets like it's nothing

Keep my directors' pronouns OUT OF YOUR FUCKIN MOUTH

>Val Kilmer
I wonder why he was considered, his career died in
>1996
I see now. This must have been before the Island of Dr. Moreau.

>we'll never get Will Smith Neo
>we'll never get Nic Cage Superman
>we'll never get Sean Connery Gandalf
>we'll never get Beatles hobbits

Reeves was the perfect choice.
Smith would have been a shit choice.
Original Matrix was a fun movie.
Simple as.
