Ukrainian television prankster Vitalii Sediuk attempted to kiss MIB3 star Will Smith on the lips, and got a smack ion reply.
An angry Will told the Vitalii: ”Hey man, what the hell is your problem?”
Video here.
He told another reporter that it could have been worse: ”He tried to kiss me on the mouth. He’s lucky I didn’t try to sucker punch him. … Sorry, I said that on camera.”
Columbia Pictures are drip-feeding us with publicity as the movie launch nears. Will Smith answered some fan questions over at Yahoo movies. Nothing sensational here… I could almost guess that someone else wrote the replies for him:
What’s new in MIB3?
This movie has not only aliens, but time travel – so it sets the movie in a time and place that gives it a whole new look and feel and brand-new situations that are so much funnier because of the time period. I really believe this is the best of the three.
How is the 3D?
I just saw it in 3D — and it looks INSANE. It’s the type of movie that is just supposed to be in 3D. Makes me want to go back and do the other two in 3D!
What is it like playing this character again?
After you play a character twice, it’s almost like riding a bike. A pretty black bike. . . . I was really surprised that, after all these years, I STILL make this look good!
Sorry, but this one reeks of made-up publicity / anything for a headline:
Director Barry Sonnenfeld revealed Will came up with the idea himself…
He said: “Will calls me Baz. When we were shooting ‘Men In Black II’ [in 2002], one night he said ‘Hey Baz, I think I have an idea for number three’. The basic idea was that Will’s character, Agent J, would have to go back into the past to save his partner.
“It allowed the movie to take place in another era, and us to learn more about Tommy Lee Jones’ character. But it turned out to be a very long process of development, mainly because of the knotting issues of time travel, the time travel thing was really hard.”
Could be true. Even it it was, as Sonnenfeld pointed out, time travel is a tricky topic when it comes to story-telling. It’s continuity cubed. Simply voicing the idea isn’t the same as writing the script. And of course, the MIB franchise has always had a 50s/60s feel to it, just like the Blues Brothers did.
MIB3 star Will Smith and Trinidad born singer Nicki Minaj will be co-hosting Nickelodeon’s 25th Annual Kids’ Choice Awards on March 21, 2012.
It seems quite clear that Will be channeling his Men in Black character during the awards:
Will Smith has created a storm of controversy in NYC, due to the sheer size and audacity of his double-decker trailer, a model known as “The Heat”. To start with, Smith was already renting a $25,000-a-month apartment a block from the MIB3 set in Soho. So people’s first reaction is that he is too lazy to walk…
The trailer had to be moved, by order of Mayor Bloomberg, because local residents complained that the trailer was “smelly” and “ridiculous.” One neighbor commented that it was, “like living in a gas station.”
And two s have already proposed legislation regulating the size of film-production vehicles. Currently, there are no limits.
City Council member Peter Vallone Jr. stated “Hardworking New Yorkers have a right to wake up in the morning and not find a cruise ship parked out in front of their house. This is New York, not Hollywood. We don’t roll that way.”
Councilwoman Margaret Chin, the representing SoHo, said: “This is ridiculous. This is abuse. If we don’t do something, the next one will be even bigger.”
The 1,150 square-foot trailer features a full-service kitchen, a 100-inch screen for movies, marble floors, offices for Will’s assistant(s), two bedrooms and a granite bathroom. So basically he could live in it. For all we know, he might finish a scene at 1am and need to be on set at 7am, so perhaps it does serve a purpose. Plus, because it is his own, it means not getting used to a new trailer, every movie.
The manufacturers of “The Heat”, Anderson Mobile Estates have more photos on their website if you are curious. The price is around $2 million.
And BTW, alongside the monster trailer was his 55-foot personal gym trailer!
