Will Smith: Cain of Bible's Cain & Abel!

Will Smith will star as the title character in The Legend Of Cain, a re-telling of the Biblical sibling rivalry tale.

The caveat? The story will have a vampire twist. Yes, more vampires!!!

Biblical tale: Cain, the older son of Adam and Eve, kills younger brother Abel out of jealousy and anger.

According to Deadline, Will will also produce with Overbrook Entertainment partners Jada Pinkett Smith (his wife), James Lassiter, and Ken Stovitz.

WHAT DO YOU THINK of a vampire version of the Cain & Abel story?

The vampire twist is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. It doesn’t make sense either. I’d love this if it was just a normal retelling of the story because I think Will’s the perfect actor for the job. Think I’ll skip this one, sadly.

This sounds so beneath Will Smith for a career move this is the kind of thing a unproven actor has to do… I dont know what he and his people are thinking Im going to guess he wanted to get it made produce it with his awesome wife and friends but they wouldnt greenlight the film unless he stars in it so he is. It just sounds like a very very bad idea. To many vampire films ugh
Now I wouldnt mind an original vampire film something that is groundbreaking but this is not it.
Bad idea!!!!

I don’t really get it with the Vampire twist.. but at the same time I can’t imagine Will smith in this role and don’t think he can pull it off

Can’t say it floats my boat! Never really believed in all that made up Bible cr*p anyway and sprinkling it with vampires doesn’t make the idea sound any more watchable.

Vampire twist? Really?! In a biblical story? HA! I’ve seen it all. Now, what? We are all vampire descent? Haha. Yeah, right. Umm, it sounds ridiculous. No, silly. No, downright STUPID. Enough with all this “vampire” bull$hit, please! I don’t even like vampires anymore. Enough is enough! I still wouldn’t have watched this movie anyway since I ha enough with the Bible too XD. This smells crap, seriously. Hope that’s a joke ’cause it’ll turn out to be a big ass joke of a film !

They’re pretty much taking the premise of the game franchise Vampire: The Masquerade. Seriously Will Smith?

I love the idea, in many stories the first vampire was Cain, he was condemmed by God to walk the erath for eternity for having killed his brother. This really sounds promising.
