I know none of these people. Also it's being reimagined as a drama instead of a comedy like Will Smith wanted it to be.

Edit: Fan trailer that inspired the idea to reboot as a drama btw

Who they got to play Carlton is proof enough that this isn't going to be a comedy. That guy looks too cool to be Carlton.

I thought it was always planned to be a drama, since the inspiration for a reboot was the dramatic fan-made trailer.

I guess it's interesting that they are talking about Lisa.

IIRC, like half of the episodes in the second-to-last season were about Will and Lisa, at the end of it they decide not to get married, and then she literally never shows up again in the final season. Of course that was the original show where characters disappeared all the time.

It's based on that fan film trailer someone made. Will liked it so much, he produced it to make it into an actual show

I thought that was a contract dispute thing. Never saw the HBO special so IDK.

Thats what I said. Will wanted it to be a drama reboot and not a comedy reboot.
Ah, my mistake. In my mind, I put a comma after "Drama" so the end of the sentence reads as "instead of a comedy like Will Smith wanted it to be." Implying that Will wanted a comedy, but now it's not. But okay, I'm on the same page now.

What were they thinking
They were thinking that the way the fan trailer presented the story was an interesting take. Like this literally started because the video in the OP went viral. Will Smith saw it, loved it and met with the creator and said he was going to produce a reboot, based on the idea.

I kind of hate everything about this reboot. It shouldn't be connected to the original at all. Completely lacks the charm and 90s nostalgia of the original cast; and if they're taking it in a different direction then they're just (imo) alienating fans of the original.
I don't love this or hate it. It's certainly better than if they were trying to just copy the original's tone but with a new cast, zero chance that would have succeeded.

It would have been cool though if they made a limited series or a movie with the original actors in the present day. I have a hard time believing the subject didn't come up while they were doing the reunion documentary for HBO.

Will repeatedly said he doesn't want to do that. That there was a time he thought it was appropriate but once that time passed it was too late in his mind. And if will won't do it then there's no point in doing it at all.

No diversity? This is literally only showing Will, his family, his best friend and his love interest. Guarantee there will be diversity outside of that.

This is gonna bomb hard. If it was its own show then it may have had a chance, but a direct comparison to the classic that's FPoBA? Not a snowballs chance in hell.

Call me crazy, but I think I dig the new Will and Carlton choices for the actors. If this is a dramatic take on the original story, naive and inexperienced Will looking younger than "privileged son of a powerful, rich man" makes sense. I know Carlton was naive in his own way and they helped each other grow as men, but i'm intrigued at the physical dynamic also changing to make Will even more intimidated by his new life.
