Will Smith, Quincy Jones and Benny Medina are collaborating to create a more dramatic and serious version of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air based on a trailer by fan Morgan Cooper that went viral.
The 4 minute YouTube video (see below) showcased the hit sitcom as a drama of a rich family in Los Angeles having their teenage relation move in.
According to reports, the drama will be known as Bel Air and has been in development for a year plus. Morgan Cooper will also write, direct and producer while The Wire's Chris Collins will be on-board as producer as well.
The show is currently in a bidding war with multiple streaming companies.
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air ran from 1990-1996, helped turned Will Smith into a Hollywood star and has maintained immense popularity in pop culture though syndication and recent streaming.
