Drama Dramatic Reimagining of ‘Fresh Prince of Bel Air’ in the Works

[Dark Raven]

It's good that they managed to get a 2 season pick up from a fan film pitch. But probably Will Smith had a lot to do with that. Without his backing that might not have had the same attention.

Who would they cast as Will though? The actor in the fan film? Or will they recast all the parts from that?

This is only happening because of him. He's the one who pushed for it.

I think they’ll probably go the recast route.

 

[Dark Raven]

Maybe they could get Will Smith to narrate the series as the older Will, like Bob Saget in How I Met Your Mother.

Also, Donald Trump had a cameo in the original series. Is he going to make a cameo this time round? Maybe Don Jr or Eric can.

That's always The Wonder Years' thing to me.

God I love this show

 

[Primal Slayer]

The reunion is out and it was way better than I expected it to be.

 

[Dave McFly]

yeah I just watched it seeing them all together again (well except for James) it was amazing. the tribute to James with all of them just silent and wiping tears away had me tear up too (damn onions). and I really liked how Janet was done with her one on one and later teaming up for the cast. I was totally surprised that they even had little Nicky show up wow.

 

[Calvin Ellis]

Only thing missing was Nia Long and Tyra Banks. I also wished they showed Janet talking more with the rest of the cast as well though and Nicky.

When will we get some casting news? Have they even started anything on this?

 

[DarkKnight88]

Despite the split, sources note that producers remain happy with the material Collins delivered though he will no longer be involved with the series moving forward.

Nice PR. If they were happy, they wouldn't fire the guy lol

 

[The Lazarus Pit]

These characters are iconic and the story is strong enough for it to be reimagined. I’m curious to see how it turns out.

 

[Pennywise]

Nice PR. If they were happy, they wouldn't fire the guy lol

Weird.
