Just like you might expect, the authors of the original manga are upset that the production of the 2003 version of Oldboy felt they could sell the rights to anyone they pleased.

According to Production Weekly, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is about to join the cast of Disney’s upcoming sea epic 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, for which they’ve tapped Terminator Salvation director McG to helm.

This isn’t an April Fool’s Joke. It’s for real, and now we’re asking whether it should be a reality or not. Are you thinking Yes or Aw Hell Naw?

For better or for worse, Hollywood works differently now, and a pretty face just doesn’t sell tickets anymore.

Put the peace pipe down and throw your neighbor’s hand to the side. If there’s anything to be learned from this week’s box office numbers, it’s that Americans love to watch the world burn.

So here we are in the official Hollywood hangover week. Hugh Jackman was praised for doing less than anyone else had in the past. We have only two non-reviewed movies releasing this weekend. And Tyler Perry in a fat suit is box office gold.

So Will Smith is obviously not Indian, but should that preclude him from playing Prince Dakkar? Did you know Dakkar is Nemo’s real name? Of course you didn’t – you don’t read books. You watch movies.

After the box office success of 300, Warner Bros. has realized how much money they can save on their big-budget tentpoles by not paying A-listers (or anyone close to an A-lister), and they’ve consequently chosen to exercise that option with Watchmen.

Ben Thomas (Will Smith) is an IRS agent with a nasty secret in his past. And in an attempt to atone for his sins, he has begun tracking down seven individuals whose situations he could drastically change. But along the way he meets a beautiful woman named Emily (Rosario Dawson), who might also change him in return.

This week Will Smith appears in Seven Pounds, or roughly the weight of an Academy Award. While Smith hasn’t taken an Oscar home yet, he has been nominated twice. So it’s time to look at Will Smith’s efforts to add a little drama to his life.

Try this game and see if you can make it through the movie. Either you’ll pass out from too much booze… or you’ll pass out from sheer boredom.

Kevin Carr looks at Yes Man, Seven Pounds, The Tale of Despereaux and The Wrestler, in theaters this week with the FSR Report Card.

Kevin and Neil wind down through a massive month of movies, commenting on everything from characters’ heart conditions to tattoed strippers past their prime (but still fun to watch).

Welcome to another Reject Report and an intriguing matchup at the box office this weekend. In fact, you might call it a heavyweight matchup: Jim Carrey versus Will Smith.

Two small pieces of Smith family news today, both courtesy of JoBlo.com. Will Smith is doing publicity for his upcoming film, Seven Pounds, and he was asked about Hancock and his son’s Karate Kid remake.

So many questions. So we’ll have to make up answers.

We were able to catch up with Smith and gave some news regarding Will Smith and his role in Oldboy, but here is the full report.

We heard it straight from the star’s mouth. He’s definitely starring in Steven Spielberg’s Oldboy…but there’s a twist.

The oft-rumored remake of The Karate Kid is back on track with a writer, producers, and a new star attached.

Steven Spielberg is apparently in the process of acquiring the remake rights for Dreamworks, in the hopes of directing the film with Will Smith as the star.
