Two years after "The Slap Heard Around The World" (TM), Oscar winner Will Smith is set to tackle his first new project. He has signed up to star in the lead role of the action thriller "Sugar Bandits" based on the Chuck Hogan book "Devils in Exile". Hogan is best know for the writing the script for "The Town" and "The Strain".
The thriller centres on an Iraq War veteran who teams up with a crew of fellow vets to target the drug trade in Boston. The film was first announced back in 2013 with Universal developing the feature.
AGC International and CAA Media Finance represent the film's worldwide distribution rights and will introduce the film to buyers at the upcoming EFM. Smith and Jon Mone will produce through Westbrook Studios with Ryan Shimazaki overseeing; Stuart Ford will produce for AGC Studios, which is fully financing the film; and Richard Abate ("13 Hours", "From Scratch") will produce for 3 Arts Entertainment.
Smith also stars in the fourth "Bad Boys" movie which is currently in production, and "I Am Legend" sequel.
