    Will Smith would have preferred not to film Wild Wild West and 3 testimonies show his pain

    There is a whole chronicle of shame on Will Smith and Wild Wild West. The film grossed just $222 million on a budget of $170 million. The miscalculated blockbuster has been ridiculed by film fans and critics to this day. Smith is even at the forefront:

  • “Wild Wild West is a thorn in my flesh“, he told GQ 2021. “Seeing me in riding boots. I don’t like that.”

  • And 2019: “I’d go back to Wild Wild West and I’d be like, ‘Asshole, why didn’t you matrix made?'” The role of Neo, which Keanu Reeves eventually took on, was actually on Smith’s desk. He declined in favor of Wild Wild West.
  • Previously in 2016 said: “II had [damals] so much success that I started licking blood and shifted my focus from art to profit. I wanted to make money and be the biggest movie star, but then – around the Wild Wild West period – I had hesitations. I caught myself promoting something because I wanted to make a profit, not because I was promoting something I believed in.”

    • Where is this pain coming from? Will Smith is known for choosing his film projects carefully to avoid failure. With this strategy he achieved a record for eternity. He’s the only actor with 8 movies in a row $100 million made at the US box office. He started 8 times in a row in 1st place the North American cinema charts. Of course, a commercial and artistic failure like Wild Wild West seems like a particularly conspicuous eyesore.
