Will Smith is planning on bringing ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’ back.
TV Line reports that the “Men in Black” star is developing “a present-day Fresh Prince reboot that puts a new spin on the fish-out-of-water tale while maintaining the spirit of the original series.”
Smith, who isn’t expected to star, will produce alongside Jada Pinkett-Smith, Caleeb Pinkett, and James Lassiter.
Meanwhile, NBC is considering rebooting “Alf”, the ’80s sitcom about a furry, funny alien that crashlands on Earth and shacks up with the Tannen family.
According to chairman Bob Greenblatt, “Alf : The Series” will go into development if the network’s upcoming “Coach” reboot – a sequel series to another popular Clinton-era program – works.
A few years ago Sony Pictures Animation were working with the producers of “The Smurfs” to do a new live-action/CGI “Alf” movie but it never came to fruition.
