Looks like Connor Cruise is following in his parents’ (Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman) footsteps. Connor Cruise has been cast in a small role in Will Smith’s new film, Seven Pounds.

Connor Cruise will play a younger version of Will Smith. And don’t you think that papa Tom Cruise was pulling strings to get Connor the part — he had to audition just like everyone else.

Yeah, right.

Check out the alternate ending video for “I Am Legend,” starring Will Smith. What do you think?

Hancock is the next film that Will Smith will appear in, and is slated for a July 2nd, 2008 release. He plays a down and out superhero who needs an image reboot. The movie also stars Charlize Theron, Jason Bateman and others.

Smith currently appears as the last man on Earth in I am Legend, which just broke the all time box office record for a December opening, taking in $75.6 million this past weekend. Maybe this will get him removed from the list of most overpaid Hollywood actors.

What I love about Will Smith is that whatever he does, he does it big. Smith will also appear in Seven Pounds and Time Share in 2008.

Will Smith’s new horror zombie/ vampire movie, I am Legend – where’s he’s the last man on earth – hit a record $76.5 million in box office take, beating out the old December opening record by Lord of the Rings in 2003.This is Smith’s seventh straight hit movie. Despite all this, Smith was recently declared one of the most overpaid actors – with Nicole Kidman at the top of the list.
