The Matrix Could Have Looked Very Different With Will Smith

It's pretty well-known that Will Smith was sought out by the Wachowskis to play Neo in The Matrix, and he has finally addressed the situation in detail in a recent video. Smith was on top of the world in the mid-to-late 1990s, but he didn't want to be pigeonholed as a sci-fi actor following Independence Day and Men in Black, and he also admitted that the original pitch for The Matrix didn't wow him.
