No Will Smith? Just call it Labor Day then

Or just call it Wedesday.

Weak. Unless it has Jaden Smith in it I'm kind of upset and feel cheated.

Actually it still isn't 100% confirmed he won't be in it. He has said that he doesn't see himself in it but that was before a release date and official cast negotiations get underway. I bet if the script is solid and they pay the right amount he'd be in it.

I wouldn't be half as interested in seeing it if Will Smith is not in it.

Same, I won't bother most likely.

Yeah with Smith not in it I doubt it fares that well. He made that movie.

I wouldn't want to see it unless Vivica A. Fox wasn't in it.

No Will Smith? Ehh, no big deal. What about Jeff Goldblum? He's a deal breaker for me.

I'm not even sure I'd spend time watching it when it finally came out on television without Will Smith.

Am I the only one that thought the original movie was lame?

Nothing with Jeff Goldblum in it is lame, CWB....Nothing.

Not sure but I loved it for whatever reason. That was a big year for movies that I will never forget. Independence Day, Twister, Eraser, English Patient, Fargo, Nutty Professor, The Rock, Mission: Impossible, Jerry Maguire, Ransom, The People vs. Larry Flynt, Sling Blade, and Primal Fear.

In retrospect it was lame, but when it came out I loved it.
