Will Smith‘s children Willow and Jaden Smith will co-star in an adaptation of the graphic novel Amulet: The Stonekeeper. Smith’s production company Overbrook Entertainment will co-produce for Warner Bros., according to Variety. The movie will tell the story of a brother and sister who use their late great-grandfather’s an amulet to rescue their widowed mother from an underground beast. Willow, 7, played a small role alongside her dad in the recent I Am Legend, and will next appear opposite Abigail Breslin in Kit Kittredge: An American Girl; while nine-year-old Jaden won several awards for his co-starring role opposite Will in The Pursuit of Happyness. The film is set to be released in 2010.
Like father, like kids. Can’t wait for this one!
More famous people’s children being acclaimed for their parents’ work. Yay!! Fame must be so intoxicating for these freaks that they have to put their children out there for the world. It’s a tragedy, really.
That’s one way to get a job. Guaranteed career, have mommy or daddy in show business.
Why do they have to be freaks?
I think it’s great that people who have worked their entire lives in pursuit of their dreams to find successful career paths, actually love their children enough to ensure that they can lead productive, meaningful and successful lives as well. It would be a shame to have Will Smith and his wife not leave their legacy’s for their children to follow. Good for them! :]
I have been watching as the children of Will Smith and his second wife get more and more TV time and movie roles.
It is ashame that his first born son, Trey, has been shunned and ignored.
We never see him or hear about him. No TV roles, no movie time with dad.
Not good. Not good at all.
How does a father ignore one over another.
Very sad.
