Re: Will Smith as Neo?!?

I'll be the first to say that I don't think the movie would do as well with two black male lead actors. Not in that genre and with that storyline.
Not that it wouldn't be a good movie, because even though I think Will Smith sucks he's better than Keanu Reeves, but purely because of demographic appeal and the willingness of the film's audience to accept a black guy as a Christ figure.

I also dont think anyone would have enjoyed seeing a black lead actor with a pretty white girl. A love plot between Trinity and Will Smith would have been gross.
