Don't get me wrong. I usually think Will Smith plays some decent characters in movies, but all throughout the book, even knowing that it would be Will Smith in the movie, I pictured a guy looking more like David Wenham (The blonde guy that "narrates" 300). I can't imagine seeing Will Smith with a big thick beard running crazily after "someone". Then again, I'm sure with this adaptation, he won't be chasing "someone" at all.

Aliens will probably fly in to save him or something stupid like that...
