About three a long time in the past, the Wachowskis supplied Will Smith the lead position in The Matrix. Whereas he in the end handed on it, the Golden Globe Award winner is bringing a recent take to Neo, albeit on his personal phrases.
On Sunday (Jan. 26), Smith shared a teaser for his upcoming single and video, “Lovely Scars,” impressed by the groundbreaking sci-fi movie. With Huge Sean — who’s featured on the file — taking up the position of Laurence Fishburne’s Morpheus, the 2 artists reenacted the traditional pink or blue tablet dilemma.
“Look, you’ve made some superior profession decisions your complete life. There’s just one you actually remorse. Effectively, perhaps two, however we’re not going to give attention to that one,” Sean defined, presumably referencing Smith’s notorious Oscar Awards slap in 2022. “That’s tousled,” the actor responded.
The Detroit rapper continued, “So, I’m gonna provide you with a selection. Blue tablet: The whole lot stays the identical, and also you get to maneuver on together with your life. Crimson tablet: You get to return and star in that film that obtained away. The selection is yours.” Although Keanu Reeves ended up going with the latter possibility in 1999’s The Matrix, Smith humorously determined to have his cake and eat it too.
“Right here’s the factor. I actually like my life proper now,” Smith stated earlier than snatching each tablets out of Sean’s arms and swallowing them. “Woah, s**t,” the Darkish Sky Paradise artist responded. “[That] wasn’t even an possibility.” The video concluded with the discharge date for “Lovely Scars,” slated to debut on Thursday (Jan. 30).
The forthcoming observe will doubtless seem on Smith’s subsequent album. He’s been teasing the undertaking with singles like “TANTRUM” with Joyner Lucas and “WORK OF ART” that includes Russ and his youngest son, Jaden. Sean, however, launched his critically acclaimed Higher Me Than You in August 2024.
