Will Smith Goes in Matrix.
Smith and rapper Big Sean have released the song “Beautiful Scars”, with Obanga, along with a “Matrix” -inspired music video. The actor has also announced that he will release a new solo album, “based on A True Story” – his first full -length album edition in over 20 years. The album is scheduled for an edition in March 2025.
“Beautiful scars”, produced by rearrous and lexoskeleton, explores the pain of fame and learning of their mistakes. In the music video, Smith takes the role of Neo, the character famous by Keanu Reeves in the Sci-Fi classic 1999 “The Matrix”, while Big Sean enters the shoes from Morpheus, originally produced by Laurence Fishburne.
Earlier this month, Smith published a cryptic message on Instagram, which reminded his decision to forward the role of Neo (which finally went to Reeves) in “The Matrix.”
“In 1997, Wachowski’s Will Smith offered the role of Neo in ‘The Matrix.’ Smith rejected it, “reads his Instagram video, written in third person. “He chose” Wild Wild West, “and thought it was better for him at that time. But the question remains: How would ‘The Matrix’ have been with Will Smith like Neo? “
The video then ends with the text: “Wake up, will. The matrix has you. “
In 2019, Smith published a video on his Youtube channel explaining why he rejected the role of Neo in “The Matrix.” He revealed that Wachowski’s height for the film did not appearance to him, which led to his lack of interest in the project. According to Smith, Wachowski tried to sell him in the film style rather than the action of “The Matrix.” Smith said the pitch went as follows: “We think, as … imagine that you are in a struggle. You, like, jump. Imagine if you could stop jumping in the middle of hope. But then people could see around you 360 degrees while you stop jumping. We will invent these cameras, and then people can see the whole hope when you stay in the middle of the hope. “
