Smith spills film spoiler

By Alexandra Heilbron on December 6, 2007 | 14 Comments

During a press conference in Tokyo to promote his new film, I Am Legend, Will Smith inadvertently gave away key plot elements. Smith plays a man who survives a virus that wipes out most of the world’s population and was describing the film in detail when producer/screenwriter Akiva Goldsman shouted out: “Don’t give away the ending!” It was too late, Smith had spilled the beans. Member of the press were asked to keep the ending a secret. The highly-anticipated movie hits the big screen December 14.

   So. What are they going to do to him? Spank the bad boy?

   He’s one of the few bankable male actors they have in Hollywood who isn’t splashed all over the tabloids on a weekly basis.

   I think Will Smith must have the best agent in the business…Smith seems to get all the good parts to play….He’s young, sexy, has a great marriage and wonderful children…what more can he ask for….Can’t wait to see his latest movie…I am Legend…..I’m a big fan Will….your one great performer.

   I’m excited for the movie….but it seems like just another zombie-movie type thing.If it wasn’t with such a big actor, I don’t think it would be so popular.
   Definitely agree on the bad boys 3. love them.

    Read the book. The ending should be no surprise

    Screw reading the book when there are movies on it.

    If you already know the end, leave half way through movie and save money on popcorn and avoid traffic.

    Don’t read books trust Trust Hollywood to present accurate account of story.
