Denzel Washington and Will Smith are about to get their funny on. Washington, who typically plays the straight man, will be dropping his serious tone to have a little fun his untitled project with Smith. Washington spilled the beans during an interview while being questioned about doing a comedic role. “I shouldn’t talk about it, but I will just say that Will Smith and I are working on a project and hopefully we will make it next year.” Don’t get too excited just yet, as Washington recently disclosed to CBS’s Early Show that Smith might be delivering most of the punch lines. “[Will and I] were in London last summer, [and] we were just kind of fooling around, improvising, and Will was saying, ‘Don’t worry, Denzel, you don’t have to be the funny guy, you can be the straight guy, just be dead serious.’ “There was some funny stuff, so I look forward to it.”
You're probably right. Adding him would just make it too over the top, kinda like Wild Hogs or whatever that biker movie was called.
Denzel doing comedy is like teaching a fish to ride a bike imho.. Dont rag on me, I think he is good and all, but funny??? Uhmmmm........
You mean like when Robert DeNiro played the father in-law in 'Meet the Fockers'? I think Denzel would be able to do a comedy film. He just needs the right character.
Acctually, you are right (and dont make me repeat that He was very funny in that movie and I would probably not have expected that. Although in interviews, Denzel seems a bit more serious/woodsy compared to DeNiro who seem to be a bit more of a wild man. _Seem_ is the key word and I will now look forward to this movie since you showed me the light :smt045
