Scene in Cannes: Swimming With Sharks
Will Smith, Angelina Jolie and Jack Black are
making a big splash at the Cannes Film Festival, with their
new animated film "Shark Tale." We were on the streets of
Cannes with Will as he hammed it up with fans and revealed
why he decided to do an animated film.
"After 'Bad Boys 2, it was a mandate
in my house to do something the kids could go see," Will
admitted.
Will actually took a "Shark's Tale" ride with co-stars Jack
Black and Angelina Jolie on a large shark boat created to promote
the movie, and Jack got wet with a scuba dip, but from the sounds
of things this won't be just another kid's film -- words can't
do it justice, but you've never heard anything quite like Jack's
"shark roar."
Angelina told us that her family also had a say in her participation:
"My mom really wanted me to be the good fish," she
told us, saying her mother asked, "'Why aren't you
the angel fish? You're a good person, why are you always a bad
person?'"
Good or bad, Jack told us that going aquatic stretched his acting
skills. "It comes to me, I don't force it," he explained,
but stopped short of giving away his tricks: "Look, you
want the secret recipe to why I'm so good? I'm not gonna
give you all the secret ingredients."
But is there some method to Jack's madness? "Can I
relate to a shark? Yeah, yeah, if I see something I like, I'll
go and eat it," he told us.
And even without Jack's secrets, we've got plenty of our own
from the sunny south of France. Jennifer Aniston, Justin Timberlake
and Jack Black were all seen cooling off by the pool at the
ultra exclusive Hotel du Cap. And we even spotted Brad and Jen
on a romantic walk in the town of Antibes before they headed
to the nearby Picasso museum. Today, Brad flew to back to Amsterdam
to resume work on "Ocean's 12." |
