Will Smith will star in director David Leitch’s “Fast & Loose”, a film that has become the subject of a major bidding war between studios.
The project, scripted by Jon and Eric Hoeber, was originally set up at STX Films, before Smith was attached to star. The project, says Deadline, has blown up since Smith’s attachment and a decision has been made to shop the film to studios and streamers.
The trade says most outlets are keen on this one, including Warner Bros, Paramount, MGM and Sony, with the streamers now in the mix.
Here’s the plot :
After the leader of an upper-echelon criminal organization suffers memory loss from an attack, he reunites with his crew, only to find that things aren’t what he thinks they are. When John Riley (Smith) wakes up in Tijuana after being left for dead with absolutely no memory, he follows a string of clues to uncover his identity discovering he’s been living two different lives: one, as a super-successful crime kingpin, surrounded by beautiful women, expensive toys, and a lavish lifestyle and the other as an undercover CIA agent, but with a puny salary, no family or home life whatsoever, and zero trappings of success. The problem is, he can’t remember which of these two personas is his true identity, and, more importantly, which life he really wants to live.
