Imagine the tie-in music video he would have done.
Comment on The script is mysterious and important.

Given that he turned it down for Wild Wild West, use that as a basis.
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 11 hours ago
I get what you mean/agree, but to play devil’s advocate, his character in Enemy of the State could’ve sorta worked as Neo.

It is crazy how I always think of that movie as “early career Will Smith before he became famous quippy superstar” but it released between Men In Black and Wild Wild West.

Don’t forget Will Smith was a Rapper and DJ first, ended up deep in a financial hole because he didn’t save any money for taxes following his musical success, took the role on Fresh Prince to try to keep the lights on and then Fresh Prince ended up being super successful and leading him to his second and even more successful career in acting

There would be too many wisecracks. Did keanu even smile as Neo?
osanna@lemmy.vg 8 hours ago
Yup. I think if will smith had done it, it would be a completely different movie and may not have been as much a runaway success as it was

Agreed, but I also firmly believe there is another universe in which we could believably type “Keanu Reeves would have been disastrous in The Matrix”

There are Ai clips now on YouTube where they replace actors in famous movies, like putting Tom Cruise in the matrix or whatever.
I dont watch them because I dont want my nice memories of these movies to be overwritten, but it shows how easy it is today to do.

well , excuse me for the AI haters out there. But we gotta do this.
Seedance, c’mon boy, DO IT!!!
Will Smith as NEO in the Matrix.

You get that we want to dialogue right? We can all imagine Will Smith in a leather jacket with slow motion bullets moving around him.
Every time someone who is pro AI tries to advocate for it it always comes off as their brain having turned to porridge. You get we can see that image in our minds, we don’t need it visualised for us at the expense of half an olympic swimming pool worth of water and at least six trees.

It’s just an infinite number of Will Smith’s eating an infinite amount of spaghetti.

I still appreciate that he actually acted out the AI clips of him eating spaghetti

If memory serves me right the protagonist in Inception was confused a lot and Wil can pull off confused.
Shrubbery@piefed.social 15 hours ago
Dicarpio’s character wasn’t confused, you may be thinking of Elliot Page’s character, but I wouldn’t count that character as the main protagonist.

They were probably thinking of Cillian Murphy’s character

Imagine his robot hating Detective Spooner, walking around the matrix being pissed off. Or in inception confused and pissed off.

Most likely Leo DeCaprio’s role.
