Reportedly Will Smith and I Am Legend director Francis Lawrence may be teaming up for another Manhattan-centric blockbuster called The City That Sailed. The plot involves Smith, once again, destroying New York... but this time for love, not zombies. You see, according to Variety, his street magician character is also a father, "who lives on the opposite side of the ocean from his daughter. Their bond is so strong that it causes Manhattan to split off and float across the Atlantic." A strong bond, indeed, but is it as strong as Americans' bond to ridiculous blockbuster star vehicles? Count us in! We're excited to see it just to find out how the hell Manhattan squeezes between Governors and Ellis Islands.

Just as long as they don't spend three months filming outside my apartment again...
Don't you love Hollywood? "Here's a really bad idea for a movie. I don't think we should make this."
"But Will Smith wants to star in it!"
"Oh, Will Smith? Shit, approved with a $100 million budget!"
I don't think Manhattan can squeeze between Staten Island and Brooklyn either.
Well, if Manhattan can move, surely the other islands can accommodate...
;)
Best Part: It won't matter if the movie *IS* awful as long as Will Smith stars in it, it will make oodles of cash.
It might if it crushes Waterside along the way :)

Vareity? Where can I purchase a copy of this Vareity?
My mistake—Vareity can be purchased at some news stands or read online as www.variety.com
I expect that the Queensboro Bridge will cause Roosevelt Island to be ripped off its bedrock in the East River and dragged out to sea with Manhattan.
Although with our luck while Manhattan squeezes past Governor's Island the resulting collision would cause Roosevelt Island and Governors to be merged such as Randall's and Wards Island are today.
WOW that sounds awful.
But I've gotta hand it to you, putting the Gothamist logo in a boat is excellent.
With that logo I thought the long awaited Gothamist movie was finally in production.

I'm cool with it as long as they make a sequel and Long Island breaks off and sinks. With soundtrack by Billy Joel, of course.
Two of the biggest themes in Scientology teachings: Space aliens and the seas. After making so many martian movies, a movie about sailing is the next logical step for Will Smith.
stupid
anyone who goes to spend $ on this shit is stupid.
ugh.
Isn't this the 'Ocean Walker' produced by Maeby Fünke?
Fleet Week has gone too far this time.
Is it so wrong that I think this has the potential to be right up my alley by being completely magical and fantastical? I'm a sap.
I'm not prepared to pass judgment until I know more about the movie. It could be terrible, yet more calculated schmaltz starring Smith a la Pursuit of Happyness. But who knows, it could surprise people. And you have to give them a little credit for trying something original rather than the umpteenth remake, sequel or movie based on a TV show. Besides, at least Smith only destroys NYC in films. He's not like Nicholas Cage, whose presence causes real-life destruction.
Jose Saramago wrote a book called "The Stone Raft" where the Iberian peninsula breaks off and sails across the Atlantic. This movie sounds derivative -- naturally, some producer must have had a wet dream at the CGI possibilities. But the plot of the book is dense, subtle and complex -- and we know that in Hollywood they don't read too good.
I couldn't watch the The Pursuit of Happyness because I couldn't stop laughing at that stupid haircut. Here's hoping he rocks it again - then again, if he's a street musician or whatever, my bet is on massive dreadlock extensions. And a puffy top hat laden with jewels.
What about all the people in the tunnels?
