Yeah and Brown Sugar, and Two Can Play That Game, and others.
I guess i can't expect Smith to risk all on a Black female as a love interest

Still think it's sad, a missed opportunity to make a positive statement about

i know it seems i'm picking on Smith, but after all this time, how much more
profit does he need to take some risks? So many actors and actresses, once
they've reached a certain level, start doing the alternation bit: make a
crowd-pleasure for dough, then make a film for the love of the craft
I see and hear what you're saying, Keith. And, if he's worried about finding a
marketable Black female lead, someone should mention to him that he's *married*

As I said, I can not tell what his agenda is. Maybe it is just to make
money. I read once that he was interested in politics. I see
Happyness, Ali, and Bagger Vance as attempts to get serious, but he does
not do this type of work often . What I would say, is that I do not

At this point, it's pretty much possible for an established star to
put their own production company together, pick a project they want,
and get it done themselves. I'm pretty sure he could put something
together for a couple million dollars if he wanted to.
Look at some of the stuff Clooney has
Agreed. Most at his level have made just that move, but for some reason
(perhaps kids as you suggest) Smith hasn't taken the plunge. If he
does, it will be interesting to see what he does.

True, but there do not seem to be a lot of 'vanity' type projects on
there. It may just to get him a bigger slice of the production.
However, The Cipha, where A team of rappers with superpowers unite in
a futuristic world where hip-hop is outlawed does look interesting.

Not that this has anything to do with Smith's not using his wife in his
films, but I was wondering if after the Benifer debacle, if Hollywood
had put a moratorium on films with real life couples as the stars. I
got that impression from a few articles I read.

It does look good. I like Berg and the rest of the cast.. Keith will
be disappointed, but not surprised. I still say if Black or Black
romantic comedies are part of Smith's agenda, he is not going to risk
that on a blockbuster.

Consider this. Maybe his agenda is purely profits. If that is the
case, I seriously doubt if he would touch Black on Black romance. I
