In the new trailer, he teams up with song collaborator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/t\/big-sean\/\" id=\"auto-tag_big-sean\" data-tag=\"big-sean\">Big Sean<\/a>. The duo reenacts the famous red or blue pill choice Neo faces in the film, which harkens back to Smith originally passing up the role made famous by Keanu Reeves.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tIn the new clip, Big Sean portrays the Morpheus character (played by Laurence Fishburne in the franchise) to Smith\u2019s Neo. \u201cLook, you\u2019ve made some awesome career choices your whole life. There\u2019s only one you truly regret. Well, maybe two, but we\u2019re not gonna focus on that one,\u201d Big Sean tells Will, ostensibly referring to his infamous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/tv-movies\/tv-movie-news\/oscars-jada-pinkett-will-smith-chris-rock-fight-1328408\/\">Oscars slap<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"\/>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t\u201cSo, I\u2019m gonna give you a choice. Blue pill, everything remains the same, and you get to move on with your life. Red pill, you get to go back and star in that movie that got away. The choice is yours.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tAfter Smith contemplates the choice, he decides he won\u2019t miss either opportunity. \u201cHere\u2019s the thing, I really like my life right now,\u201d Smith says, before choosing to take both pills simultaneously. \u201cShit, that wasn\u2019t even an option,\u201d Big Sean quips. The clip ends with the release date for Smith\u2019s new single \u201cBeautiful Scars\u201d featuring Big Sean, which arrives on Jan. 30.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tEarlier in the month, Smith began <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/tv-movies\/tv-movie-news\/will-smith-cryptic-matrix-film-instagram-post-1235226798\/\">cryptically teasing<\/a> something new was coming from him with a different <em>The Matrix<\/em>-inspired clip, where he discussed that he had originally been offered the role of Neo, which he passed on in favor of starring in <em>Wild Wild West. <\/em>The first teaser posed the question: \u201cWhat would\u00a0<em>The Matrix<\/em>\u00a0have been like with Will Smith as Neo?\u201d The teaser had folks speculating that he might be starring in the new movie in the franchise, which will be helmed by Drew Goddard. As it turns out, at least with the latest clues, it\u2019s likely a <em>Matrix<\/em>-themed music video for \u201cBeautiful Scars\u201d will drop along with the song.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/will-smith-big-sean-beautiful-scars-teaser-the-matrix-1235247339\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Detroit rapper plays Morpheus in their rendition of the red or blue pill scene Will Smith has dropped another breadcrumb about his upcoming single&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":13081,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13080","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop","article","has-excerpt","has-avatar","has-author","has-date","has-comment-count","has-category-meta","has-read-more","thumbnail-"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13080","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13080"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13080\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13081"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13080"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13080"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13080"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
