Give it up to Will Smith because he's not going to let the savage beating he took for
After Earth slow him down. In fact he's suddenly become quite diverse with the crime caper
Focus due out this month, followed by the NFL drama
Concussion, and then David Ayer's DC Comics film,
Suicide Squad. Now he's adding one more film movie to the list, and it sounds like an old school-style action movie.
Smith is set to headline
Bounty, an Boston actioner in which he plays a man falsely convicted of murder who escapes from prison to prove his innocence, only to discover a $10M bounty has been put on his head by the victim's widow.
At this point there is no director attached but the screenplay was written by Sascha Penn. Smith will also produce through his Overbrook Productions label. [
