One of Will Smith’s first major roles after ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel Air’ was in Michael Bay’s 1995 directorial debut ‘Bad Boys’. The action film followed Miami cops Mike Lowrey, played by Will, and Marcus Burnett, played by Martin Lawrence, as the two partners become entangled in a deadly drugs investigation.

Ali
Michael Mann’s 2001 biopic ‘Ali’ earned Will Smith his first Oscar nomination for Best Actor in 2001. The movie focuses on 10 years in the life of legendary boxer Muhammad Ali, played by WIll, documenting his victory over Sonny Liston to become world heavyweight champion, his conversion to Islam to his refusal to fight in the Vietnam War which robbed him of his career for years. It culminates with Ali beating George Foreman in the 'Rumble in the Jungle' to reclaim the title. Wil spent almost two years learning everything about Ali, from the fundamentals of his faith, to his boxing skills and dialect. When Ali saw the final result, it was clear Will had succeeded, as the boxer said, “He is a perfect actor. I even thought he was me."

The Pursuit of Happyness
Stepping away from action films in ‘The Pursuit of Happyness’ Will played Chris Gardener in the biographical drama based on his autobiography. The 2006 critically acclaimed biopic follows Gardener as he interns at a brokerage firm whilst being homeless with his five-year old son, played by Smith’s own son, Jaden Smith. Will explained that starring alongside Jaden added an element of reality to his performance. He said, “Part of being an actor is almost self-hypnosis during those brief moments when the cameras are rolling ... And having my son, and being able to lay in a subway bathroom, with my real son, just added to the ability to be able to transform and to become Chris Gardner for those moments.”
-
I am Legend
Will has a long history of starring alongside his children. In 2007, Smith acted in ‘I Am Legend’ alongside his daughter Willow. The post-apocalyptic flick is set in New York after a virus has wiped out almost all humanity and scientist Robert Neville, played by Will Smith, is the last living human left in the city. Speaking about working with his then six-year old daughter, Will joked, “You kind of don’t work with Willow, you work for Willow."
-
Hancock
Will Smith starred alongside Charlize Theron in the unusual superhero film ‘Hancock’ in 2007. Will played John Hancock, a larger than life but unpopular superhero, who has become unpopular over the years due to the collateral damage of his actions. However, after meeting a PR man, played by Jason Bateman, and his wife, played by Charlize, things start to change for the better for him. The film includes scenes of Hancock flying at speeds of up to 50 miles per hour through the air, 60 feet up, which Smith admitted scared him a little. He said: "All right, I was scared. I can say that. It's a superhero movie, but I think in real life I was a little nervous."
-
Aladdin
Will Smith joined the long list of A-Listers who have voiced Disney characters when he took on the role of the Genie in Disney’s 2019 live-action remake of ‘Aladdin’. In the family favourite, Smith helps the lowly Aladdin woo Princess Jasmine and then stop the Jafar from usurping The Sultan. After Robin Williams’ acclaimed portrayal of the Genie in the animated version, Will knew he had a challenge on his hands to match the late comic. Will settled on a hip hop version of the character, saying: "“Genie is timeless, you get to really say and do anything so I started to feel confident that I could deliver something that was an homage to Robin Williams but was musically different and just the flavour of the character would be different enough and unique enough that it would be in a different lane versus trying to compete.”

When asked if the 'Scarface' adaptation would be his next flick, Luca replied: "I think the project is amazing. I have a great producer in Dylan Clark and a great studio in Universal, so if the gods of cinema want that, I'm in."
Luca also praised the quality of the screenplay, which has been written by the Coen brothers.

Valentino closes Milan Fashion Week with lush live show
MILAN (AP) — It’s been a season of disruption at Milan Fashion Week. The hybrid live-virtual formula meant anyone from their homes could watch delightful videos like Moschino’s marionette fashion show, created with the help of Jim Henson Studios, and featuring models wearing tiny Moschino creations while Anna Wintour and other top fashion editors nodded from the front row. But even those who did virtual shows acknowledge that no video and no photos can replace the energy generated by a live runway show.

Call Me By Your Name director Luca Guadagnino is to take on the long-gestating new version of classic gangster film Scarface . According to Variety, Guadagnino is the latest director installed on a project that goes back to at least 2011. There are two previous versions: the 1932 original starring
The filmmaker explained: "The first 'Scarface' from Howard Hawkes was all about the prohibition era. Fifty years later, Oliver Stone and Brian De Palma make their version, which is so different from the Hawkes film. Both can stand on the shelf as two wonderful pieces of sculpture.
"Hopefully ours, forty-plus years later, will be another worthy reflection on a character who is a paradigm for our own compulsions for excess and ambition. I think my version will be very timely."
Luca also addressed the possibility of a sequel to coming-of-age romance 'Call Me by Your Name' and admits he would be keen to revisit the project - which starred Armie Hammer and Timothee Chalamet - in the future, citing the example of French director Francois Truffaut and his character Antoine Doinel.
When asked about a sequel, he explained to Collider: "I wouldn't call it sequel. I would call it a chapter in the chronicles. It's like Antoine Donel and (director) Francois Truffaut, who revisited a character he loved throughout his entire life. I'd love to do that. Let's see."
