Wild Wild West baby! You know, the movie Will Smith turned down being Neo in The Matrix for lol
Have you heard Kevin Smith’s story about the enormous mechanical tarantula in that movie? Look it up, it’s hysterical.
Let me guess, a 3 minute story that drags on for half an hour because he talks about his heart attack?
I hate to spoil it. I just searched Kevin Smith Wild West Tarantula… and the title of the video had Superman in it. This tracks as I recall.
The only element of the very engaging story I do recall however is that… you should hear it from him and not me… is that he was working on the Superman project with a producer who was 100% interested in getting a huge mechanical Tarantula into the movie… and this apparently went on for years… this producer would try to get it into any movie he was working on. Kevin Smith goes to see Wild Wild West… and knows who produced it when he sees the tarantula.
It’s much more funny the way he tells it.
He is a great storyteller. He should be in the movies.
I’ve always loved this movie for being a big dumb fun romp
Can you even imagine will Smith as neo, god
"I make this look good!" -- Neo when Smith absorbs him
The shade battle between West and Loveless lives rent-free in my head.
