You couldn’t name too many actors today that have earned more respect in this industry than Denzel Washington. You also couldn’t name too many… strike that… ANY actors who are a bigger box office draw today than Will Smith. So why not have the two of them in a movie together? That apparently seems to be in the works.
In a recent interview, Denzel was asked what else he’d like to do (he’s got The Taking of Pelham 123 coming out this week) and he dropped the word that Will Smith was currently working on a comedy for the two of them to do together. Well… not a “comedy” per se, but Washington did say it had “lots of laughs”.
Look, I don’t think Will Smith is in the top 20 actors list or anything, but I’ve got to admit that when he’s in his element I find him to be a pretty entertaining dude to watch. And as far as Washington goes… does anything really need to be said?
So yes… if this turns out to be true, I’d totally be down for it.
