We’ve Seen The Intro Many Times, But Did You Know It Was Will Smiths?


 OverBrook Entertainment, which is part-owned by Will Smith, has produced and been involved in over 20 films and television hits! Overbook, which is the brain child of Will Smith, is named after the place Will grew up at in Philadelphia. The other partner is James Lassiter, once Will Smith‘s road manager turned producer and long time friend.

With hits like I Am Legend, Hitch, and Hancock, Will Smith and Overbrook Entertainment is a B.L.A.C.K Force in Hollywood with a long streak of wins! Not only that but Will Smith defies the stereotype that people of colour cannot sell over seas. Two strong B.L.A.C.K Men making hundred million dollar films and having returns with a strong B.L.A.CK Male lead.

With over 6 billion dollars in film, Will Smith and Overbrook Entertainment is Hollywood royalty. Its rare, but its possible and that’s why Im writing this article to inspire you to love your skin and your power and never let racism, and adversity stop you from reaching your goal! Will, Jada and James can do it, and so can you. Listen to a message Will and James gave people who entered into their screen writing competition a few years back, the lesson stands the test of time WATCH:

  1. Enjoyed all the Overbrook films that I’ve been able to watch. Being from COMPTON I understand one of Will Smith’s friends had roots there. I grew in the Hub—136th & Central & spent 18yrs as a cop in my home town.
    My Book “VICE One Cop’s Story Of Patrolling America’s Most Dangerous City” Written by Stephen Rivelle is a memoir of my experience in the Hub! Hope you find time to read it, the City of COMPTON is a Midas Well of
    Reality & Understanding.
