Baz Luhrmann Has Cast Jaden Smith In His Netflix Show


Baz Luhrmann was originally looking for unknown actors for his upcoming Netflix show, The Get Down. But now he’s decided to cast someone a little more high-profile: Jaden Smith
The Get Down is set to be a ‘music drama’, which will follow a group of teens from South Bronx through New York City in the 1970s. 
While there’s not a huge amount of information out about the show just yet, reports say that the After Earth actor will play Marcus “Dizzee” Kipling, a ‘psychedelically talented and enigmatic graffiti writer raised in the South Bronx.’ 
So… imagine Jaden Smith’s Twitter account graffitied on a wall in the 70s, and you’re on the right track.
