Jada was in the movie, so there wouldn't be any love or kissing scenes for Will, however, Jada would've made the Wachowski bros write in the orgy scene with full penetration, while Will would have to watch.
ah but he's playing an introverted hackerman, having no charisma is perfect. someone naturally Black personly charismatic like smith is antithetical to the role. It would have been a comedy with him, just imagine smith trying to do the bullet dodge on the roof scene
Will Smith has too much charisma. Keanu is perfect for being a blank slate Everyman that just looks puzzled and asks questions so we can all self-insert.
Honestly when you look at the dialogues, you realise it's not Keanu who turned Neo into an awkward autist.
all of his lines in this scene >I was- >This, this isn't the matrix >What are "they" >Someone >Why >What are you trying to tell me - that I can dodge bullets?
Look up different scenes and it's exactly the same
And honestly, Smith is the only other actor who acts exactly like this too https://youtu.be/q3OTEdZkBaQ
God I fricking hated Jamie Foxx as Django. Horribly miscast. He had no sense for the character.
There is this interview where Jamie is talking about Quentin basically telling him how he didn't like how he acted at first. That he was trying to be all smooth and make Django seem cool. Quentin basically bashed him over the head with the fact that Django is a fricking slave, he isn't cool, he doesn't know how to read. Jamie coming in with his swagger and expensive Gucci bags to play a slave and he didn't get in to the mindset of it in the first audition.
I'm sure Quentin was livid he couldn't get Will Smith for the role and had to settle for Jamie Foxx.
>That final fight in the train station >Smith calls him Mr. Anderson >He denounces his slave name and says his name is Neo
Would have been too on the nose I think with a black man playing Neo. Hell, if you really think about it, The Matrix makes a ton more sense with Neo as a black man.
Not really
"Guy throwing off his old life and beginning anew" is pretty universal
Only the americans had a thing for black slaves, the rest of us enslaved and were enslaved by all colours
I identify as a trans Hispanic female, butgot.
(Why is trans gender so widely pushed yet trans racial, which is just as unrealistic and 7nscientific, was soundly rejected? Is it because trans gender makes oodles of money for big pharma and trans racial doesn' aside from maybe skin darkening cream?)
The best thing about improving CGI and artificial voice techniques is that we literally can watch what the Matrix would have been like if Will was Neo and Jada was Trinity as originally planned
>I ain't tryna start some shit with yall machines and what not, but can someone explain to me how y'all said "we are going to make a perfect world to imprison humanity" and you didn't even make ONE of y'all agents a brother?
>I'm just sayin y'all need to whip up some ACLU, NAACP batch code and compile that shit up cuz this whole hyperreality paradise ain't really my style, you know what I'm sayin'. Now, you best get up out my face before I hack my foot straight up inta ya ass.
Basically the same, but slightly more lighthearted. Smith probably has more creative control, there are weird edges of Scientology thrown in with the more overt Christian symbolism in the sequels. The finale has a weirdly out-of-tone musical sequence representing Neo's ultimate power in the Matrix. It isn't Neo rapping, but it might feature a classic or iconic music track while Neo battles the Agents.
Keeps Neos name out your goddamm mouth
*mouf
This edit is Graggle Simpson tier
why the frick would i wanna do that?

LOL
We'd have gotten a rap song playing over the end credits.
It would have been him rapping over that Propellorheads song
Instead we got a literally communist rock band instead.
we get a banger music video to go with the movie
The Ma-Ma-Trix !!111
Bucked and Broken

This is "DIOR DIOR jacket" levels of cringe, leave making jokes to people who are actually funny
Watch more Will Smith movies then because that was pretty accurate.
>Watch more Will Smith movies
They're unironically kino. Well, Men in Black and Independence Day are anyway.
>Men in Black and Independence Day
I've seen them, and with that, my plans for experiencing his filmography are complete
>another bmwf movie
What the frick is wrong with Americans?
Jada was in the movie, so there wouldn't be any love or kissing scenes for Will, however, Jada would've made the Wachowski bros write in the orgy scene with full penetration, while Will would have to watch.
Role of a Trinity was originally written for Jada, they recasted when Smith declined the role
I just can’t see it
It would have had a completely different tone and the interactions with all the characters would have been different
It's not hard to imagine at all. The movie would've been a comedy.
Well yeah. Will smith is not a serious actor.
The actor Smith has grown beyond your control.
keanu reeves has no charisma
neo could have been played by literally anyone else
>Anyone
I'm thinking reboot
>You're the chosen people, israeliteo
ah but he's playing an introverted hackerman, having no charisma is perfect. someone naturally Black personly charismatic like smith is antithetical to the role. It would have been a comedy with him, just imagine smith trying to do the bullet dodge on the roof scene
This is one of the few roles where Keanus stiltedness actually works for the character
The first movie doesn't work with out Stuff Keanu
Why do people say this? Watch Keanu's earlier films, guy has range.
Without Keanu's calmed steadyness you wouldn't be able to make up what's real or not
Will Smith has too much charisma. Keanu is perfect for being a blank slate Everyman that just looks puzzled and asks questions so we can all self-insert.
>so we can all self-insert.

>Neo
But that lacks gr
Honestly when you look at the dialogues, you realise it's not Keanu who turned Neo into an awkward autist.
all of his lines in this scene
>I was-
>This, this isn't the matrix
>What are "they"
>Someone
>Why
>What are you trying to tell me - that I can dodge bullets?
Look up different scenes and it's exactly the same
And honestly, Smith is the only other actor who acts exactly like this too https://youtu.be/q3OTEdZkBaQ
Will must be getting so much botox, all these wrinkles were gone for the latest Oscars and his head was all bloated
I don't see the problem with the dialogue.
best part of this scene is "blabla system bad, people part of that system bad" *cuts to cop writing a ticket*
couldn't get away with it these days
Sandra Bullock said she passed on the Trinity role because the actor attached at the time for Neo had an industry reputation for being a huge dick.
>agent smiths come out of the elevators
>"OH HELL NAW"
>sees agent smith stepping off the subway train
>"NOW THAT AIN'T RIGHT!"
>agent smiths lets off the uzi on Neo
>"OHSHITOHSHITOHSHITOHSHIT"
>I'm not just some guy in a suit, I'm THE guy in a suit.
>I'm not the chosen one, I'm just a guy who knows kung fu.
Neo would have actually taken Mouse up on his offer of having a private sex session with the woman in the red dress
>Neo would have actually taken Mouse up on his offer of having a private sex session with Mouse in the red dress
hawt
He wouldn't have worked as Neo but he definitely should've accepted the Django Unchained role
Will's too nice to play a character like Django. Even Jamie Foxx was sorely miscast. Should've been prime Wesley Snipes or Micheal Jai White instead.
Wesley Snipes would be amazing
Nah, Smith was at a point in his career where he only wanted friendly/heroic roles
God I fricking hated Jamie Foxx as Django. Horribly miscast. He had no sense for the character.
There is this interview where Jamie is talking about Quentin basically telling him how he didn't like how he acted at first. That he was trying to be all smooth and make Django seem cool.

Tell me, Mr Anderson, what good is a phone call if you're unable to breathe?
The best thing about improving CGI and artificial voice techniques is that we literally can watch what the Matrix would have been like if Will was Neo and Jada was Trinity as originally planned
>smacks lips
SO YOU TELLIN ME
WE SOME IN SORTA
COMPUTER SQUAAAD
Neo?
More like Black.
we sorta kinda have this shit already: MIB.
>I ain't tryna start some shit with yall machines and what not, but can someone explain to me how y'all said "we are going to make a perfect world to imprison humanity" and you didn't even make ONE of y'all agents a brother?
heh

well done
I think the Oracle would slap him more and chastise him and shit if it was Will Smith
was it just smith that was changed? is the rest of the cast the original choices?
Eddie Murphy and Halle Berry were originally going to play multiple parts
Basically the same, but slightly more lighthearted. Smith probably has more creative control, there are weird edges of Scientology thrown in with the more overt Christian symbolism in the sequels. The finale has a weirdly out-of-tone musical sequence representing Neo's ultimate power in the Matrix. It isn't Neo rapping, but it might feature a classic or iconic music track while Neo battles the Agents.
