Fans from the production company, Sun-Squared Media put out a trailer showing what the beloved "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" story would look like today in 2019. It got many people excited and wondering whether a film would follow this trailer. Don't get your hopes up...this trailer was just a tease of what the Fresh Prince story would look like in today's world and that's it. Sun-Squared Media portrayed the story of Will Smith in more of a dramatic/dark tone, a far cry away from the 90s light-hearted, funny sitcom we would sing along to the opening theme song. The trailer is so compelling and well made that it leaves fans wanting a follow-up film!
I don't know about you, but this trailer is sick! I want it to become a real movie! I was slightly disappointed when I found out that it was just meant as a glimpse into what the story would look like today...They filmed just for a almost 4 minute video...I'm sure there are numerous reasons why they are not making a film, one of which is cost because films cost A LOT of money to make but you never know, maybe Will Smith will catch a glimpse of it and decide to take on the project and get funding for it. One thing is for sure, I think there is a audience for it.
