In a videoconference on the ‘Zoom’ platform and by the hand of Will Smith it’s like the young actor Jabari Banks has received the news that he will be the protagonist of the new version of ‘The prince of Bel Air‘, in which he will play the iconic character that Smith brought to life on the small screen.
“It is an absolute pleasure to meet you and be live with you, from the deepest part of my heart I want to congratulate you: you have the role of the prince of Bel-Air ”, said the actor Will Smith to the young interpreter Jabari Banks during a video that quickly went viral on ‘Peacok’, a platform destined to broadcast live videos.
In a fresher and reinvented take, Will Smith’s iconic journey from West Philadelphia to the swanky mansions of Bel-Air deal more deeply with conflicts and emotions, in a program that will last one hour, that is, thirty minutes longer than the original series, and in which you will be able to see a multitude of nods to the original series.
With Will Smith himself as CEO, the project plans, as they progressed at Peacock, to carry out two seasons whose release date is still unknown.
Jabari Banks, who graduated from the Philadelphia University of the Arts in 2020, will become the lighthearted character that Will Smith already brought to life.
“My father sent me, he told me to do it, I told him that auditions don’t work like that,” said a still incredulous and excited Jabari Banks to Will Smith after hearing the news, which is a great boost to his still emerging acting career in front of the spotlights.
Thirty years after the premiere of ‘The Prince of Bel-Air’, the new version of the comedy that will be performed by NBC arrives driven by a fan of the series, Morgan Cooper in 2019. A self-made trailer in which for four minutes he showed what the series would be like today, it was made with millions of reproductions, reaching the hands of Will Smith himself.
The same actor was the one who contacted Cooper to make the new version, of which he will act as writer and director, dusting off the emblematic universe of the Prince of Bel-Air that he won the affection of the public of the nineties and now returns with force.
