Future Is Bright For Will Smith

Will Smith career took a giant hit with the critical failure of After Earth, and was only partially redeemed by Focus and Concussion but along came the soon-to-be-released Suicide Squad and suddenly the train is rolling once more as Smith is already on board for the next project helmed by his Suicide Squad director.

Characterized as a contemporary cop thriller with fantastical elements, the script is written by Max Landis and also has Joel Edgerton attached to the cast. It is being sold as an action spec package, with Eric Newman, Bryan Unkeless and Max Landis producing.

As a movie prospect, Bright is intriguing. Director David Ayer is renowned for the power of his characters, and the kinetic energy of his narratives. These are the elements that have helped to build such great anticipation for Suicide Squad, having made his previous projects notable critical successes. Adding the compelling presence of Will Smith to that mix makes for a must-see package.
