Little Smiths Team For Amulet
Will Smith won't be able to act forever. We hope he carries on for a long time yet, but one day he'll have to hang up his dumbbells, let his pecs turn to man-boobs and stop quipping every time he hits someone. So, wisely, he's securing his retirement fund in the shape of his two talented children, Jaden and Willow.

The pair, who have already featured with dad in, respectively, Pursuit of Happyness and I Am Legend, will team up for Amulet. Based on the first in a series of five graphic novels by Kazu Kibuishi, Amulet tells of two children who move into their late great-granfather's house after the death of their father. Then they must use pops' mysterious amulet to save their mother from a beast that has lured her into an underground world. These children have a lot to deal with.

Usually the idea of A-listers kids going into acting – or even child actors in general – can be a bit nauseating. But these two have both proved themselves able actors, particularly Jaden. Plus, they both have really cool hair. And that's 85% of what being a successful star is all about.
