Denzel & Will To Do Comedy Flick

[nobledruali]

Denzel Washington and Will Smith are about to get their funny on. Washington, who typically plays the straight man, will be dropping his serious tone to have a little fun his untitled project with Smith.

Washington spilled the beans during an interview while being questioned about doing a comedic role. “I shouldn’t talk about it, but I will just say that Will Smith and I are working on a project and hopefully we will make it next year.”

Don’t get too excited just yet, as Washington recently disclosed to CBS’s Early Show that Smith might be delivering most of the punch lines. “[Will and I] were in London last summer, [and] we were just kind of fooling around, improvising, and Will was saying, ‘Don’t worry, Denzel, you don’t have to be the funny guy, you can be the straight guy, just be dead serious.’ “There was some funny stuff, so I look forward to it.”

I always thought Denzel should have done some comedies to mix in with his more serious roles. You know, show some range in his acting. His black female fan base holds him back a little IMO.

I would love to see this movie, whatever it is. Maybe they can add Sam Jackson in the mix too.

I don't think that would make things better.

You're probably right. Adding him would just make it too over the top, kinda like Wild Hogs or whatever that biker movie was called.

You mean like when Robert DeNiro played the father in-law in 'Meet the Fockers'?

I think Denzel would be able to do a comedy film. He just needs the right character.

Yeah, with the right comedy writers any GOOD actor/actress is funny.

Acctually, you are right (and dont make me repeat that
He was very funny in that movie and I would probably not have expected that.
Although in interviews, Denzel seems a bit more serious/woodsy compared to DeNiro who seem to be a bit more of a wild man.

_Seem_ is the key word and I will now look forward to this movie since you showed me the light
