Not Every Movie Will Smith Makes is a Blockbuster

I really have to hand it to Will Smith. First, he found a way to make a ton of money rapping about strict parents and living in Bel Air. Then, he actually lived there with his “bro” Carlton. Recently, Smith has stared in a plethora of Hollywood Blockbusters. However, not every film has went on to make a fortune.

Take Human Contract for example. Never heard of it? You’re not the only one. Back in 2007, Will Smith’s wife, Jada, wrote the screenplay for the aforementioned movie. Fast forward to 2010 VHS style, and you’ll find an assortment of legal papers over the film.

Why? The couple claims the guy who financed the movie is threatening to sue them because he believes Will and Jada “guaranteed” a return on an investment to get him on board. However, Will and Jada claim they “made no such representations,” which in layman’s terms means “you’re screwed dude.”

If any of you are wondering what ever happened to Human Contract, the movie went straight-to-DVD and Will and Jada admit, “it is unlikely that it will ever make a profit.”

The co-financier begs to differ.

Welcome to the movie business, friend.
