Generalizations abound...makes me wonder how they get so many votes on AI. The target demographic seems to be more than just young girls...(I know quite a few who aren't interested in such things).
Isn't the term "American Anime" an oxymoron? Certain terms should just not be lumped together....
I've got no problems with Will Smith or Jaden but this doesn't seem to be a good idea. I myself don't see a surge of new martial arts practicioners. He can make whatever movie he wants. But will it be accepted by all the self proclaimed movie critics? It will definitely have a different "attitude" than the original. Not only are you changing the actor but he is only nine. Someone at the high school age would be more appropriate, especially if they are going to have a girlfriend on set (to make things believable).
**He replaced a 'white guy' in I Am Legend novel but the movie still seemed to do well.**
**Elizabeth Shue, was so cute in her role. Probably going to get some attractive newcomer actress to fill the role of the gf....
Cordially yours,
