I like WIll and everything, but I don't know if he has the subtlety necessary for this. I usually think of him as a much more heavy handed actor/producer, but I do hear he was good in "Pursuit of happyness"...

Will Smith as Charly Gordon in a big-budget Flowers for Algernon!?! What an awesome casting idea!

Man, I'd totally watch that -- as long as the only other option was to spend the same 90 minutes having a dull red-hot steak knife jabbed repeatedly into my eyes and ears and genitals.

I was thinking the same thing. As if the Modine version wasn't bad enough. Hey, maybe he'll even do it with his kid in the part of Charly!
