Will Smith to Star in Sci-Fi Thriller RESISTOR From Sony Pictures

Will Smith to Star in Sci-Fi Thriller RESISTOR From Sony Pictures

Will Smith is attached to star in Sony's upcoming sci-fi thriller "Resistor", which is based on the 2014 book "Influx" by bestselling author Daniel Suarez. The first draft of the script was written by Zak Olkewicz ("Bullet Train"), and the latest draft was penned by Eric Warren Singer ("Top Gun: Maverick"). No director is currently attached.

Plot details have not been revealed, but the novel follows physicist Jon Grady and his team who have discovered a device that can reflect gravity — a triumph that will revolutionize the field of physics and change the future. But instead of acclaim, Grady's lab is locked down by a covert organization known as the Bureau of Technology Control whose mission it to suppress the truth of sudden technological progress and prevent the social upheaval it would trigger. Because the future is already here, and its rewards are only for a select few. When Grady refuses to join the BTC, he's thrown into a nightmarish high-tech prison housing other doomed rebel intellects. Now, as the only hope to usher humanity out of its artificial dark age, Grady and his fellow prisoners must try to expose the secrets of an unimaginable enemy — one that wields a technological advantage half a century in the making.

The film will be produced by Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal, Steve Tisch and Tony Shaw of Escape Artists, which has been developing the project for some time along with Smith and Jon Mone through Westbrook. Heather Washington is executive producing, and Dave Wilson is a producer. The film is not expected to be Smith's next project.
