Will Smith is the "The Last Pharaoh"
Will Smith may next morph into a god. "Braveheart" writer Randall Wallace will write "The Last Pharaoh," a Columbia drama crafted as a vehicle for Smith to play Taharqa, the pharaoh who battled Assyrian invaders in ancient Egypt. "Pursuit of Happyness" director Gabriele Muccino will be at the helm.
Release Date: 2009

Does anyone smell an Oscar.
Sounds very interesting. Braveheart won academy Award for best pic in '95. And it's being written by the same guy. Will Smith got an Academy Award and a Golden Globe nomination for best actor for "Pursuit of Happyness" And that movies' director is doing "The Last Pharaoh". Will Smith might try to go for best actor with this one if it's as epic as Braveheart and Gladiator.
I know it's still way, way too early to say but I hope he gets it if he does real well. (Which i'm sure he will.) I'm confident that he'll either win or get nominated, at least. (for a G.G. and/or an A.A.)
Just remember, you read it hear 1st...
