Will Smith Reacts to “Brilliant” Remake Trailer Of ‘The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air’

Will Smith thinks a fan-made YouTube reinterpretation of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is “brilliant.”

The nearly four-minute clip titled Bel-Air was created by cinematographer Morgan Cooper and recreates the beloved Smith-starring sitcom as an indie drama.

The Bad Boys for Life actor watched the viral video and posted a review on his YouTube page Friday.

“I saw this trailer that Morgan Cooper hooked up, it was called Bel-Air,” Smith said as he stood next to Cooper. “This is the first time that I heard something and I was like ‘Yo, that’s an idea that is brilliant.'”

Cooper told Smith he grew up watching the series, which ran on NBC from 1990 to 1996, and co-starred James Avery, Alfonso Ribeiro, Tatyana Ali, Karyn Parsons, Joseph Marcell, Janet Hubert and later Daphne Reid.
