WILL SMITH SPOTTED IN NYC FILMING "MEN IN BLACK 3"

Jay-Z confirms 'Annie' remake with Willow Smith

  
     It's official: Jay-Z is teaming with Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, along with some other folks, to form a joint venture to develop and produce movies.
First project will be a "re-imagination of the classic Broadway musical Annie as a vehicle for Willow Smith," according to an announcement by Overbrook Entertainment, the Smith's company.
    The partnership began over dinner with Jada, Will, James Lassiter and Jay-Z, where they decided to co-invest in the now successful beauty products line Carol's Daughter. They continued this partnership as co-producers of the successful Broadway production Fela!, which earned 11 Tony Award nominations in 2010.
     Willow Smith is already signed to Jay-Z's record label, Roc Nation, which produced her first hit single titled Whip My Hair. Jay-Z previously sampled the classic Annie song It's the Hard Knock Life in his chart-busting single Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem). -- Via USA today

INDEPENDENCE DAY 2 & 3 COMING SOON!! WILL SMITH AS PRESIDENT?

We have known since last November that two back-to-backIndependence Day sequels were being planned, although we haven't had much information on the story for either Independence Day 2or Independence Day 3. MTV Movies Blog spoke with directorRoland Emmerich, who dropped a big hint that Will Smith may be the President of the United States in the sequels. Here's an excerpt from their interview:

"It's an alternate reality kind of movie. We pick up the story, what would have happened after this kind of attack? Naturally, the alien technology has changed everything."

Did they rebuild the White House? Who will be president?

"Or, who will be president? Who Will be president? See?"

We also reported back in March that Will Smith was locked in to star in both movies and that they could start shooting early next year.

We'll be sure to keep you posted with any further details onIndependence Day 2 and Independence Day 3 as soon as we have more information.
