Will Smith Gives Update On The Status Of 'Bad Boys 3'
Jean Fain, L.I.C.S.W., M.S.W.: Lose Weight, Gain Body…
From indieWire:
And the Smith Family machine continues on its course to take over the world.
Papa Will Smith's Overbrook Entertainment production house and Warner Bros have brought on African American scribe Rob Edwards to pen the script for a film called Amulet, to be based on the graphic novel series of the same name by Kazu Kibuishi, which "follows a teenage boy and his sister, who are pulled into a mystical world of demons, monsters and talking animals and discover that they are the last in a line of gatekeepers who must quickly learn to control a powerful amulet to save the world," according to Variety.
I actually first wrote about this project last summer, when I discovered it, while browsing through Jaden's IMDB page. Although, I don't recall there ever being an official announcement of it.
At the time, Oscar-winning screenwriter, Akiva Goldsman, who also penned Smith's 'I Am Legend' adaptation, was attached to write the screenplay, but no director was (and still isn't) signed on to helm the project. Also at the time, Jaden Smith and his little sister, Willow Smith, were both attached to star in it!

Come on? The script for the film is to be based on the graphic novel series of the same name by Kazu Kibuishi, which "follows a teenage boy and his sister, who are pulled into a mystical world of demons, monsters and talking animals? That is some EVIL ISH! something is not right? How are the Smiths going to get involved in producing something like that and having their two kids play the brother & sister? What were they thinking? Why couldn't the Smith's produce something more "Positive", "Inspiring", ect...? I will definitely NOT take my daughter to see this film. This is how the "Smith's" expose their children and you wonder WHY? That's my opinion.

I meant to say at the end of my comment, "This is how the "Smith's" expose their children and you wonder WHY the children are the way they are"? SMH?

Like Tyler Perry said, it's always black people hating on other black people. Get over it. They are the bomb all five, including Trey. I think they are doing an awesome job and Will and Jada keep up the good work and get that money. That's what white people do and nothing's said.

I love the Smiths and I would love to see Will work with Orson Scott Card and produce Ender's Game with Willow and Jaydin in key rolls. I am so proud of them all and love how they inspire all of us to do better!

I so agree with you on this one. And if they're not careful does the word "over-exposed" mean anything.

You ain't seen nothing yet? Just wait till they get older? The children our way out of control. I feel these children aren't living a normal childhood. Growing up TOO FAST.
