Will Smith Teams Up with JOHN WICK Director David Leitch for New Crime Thriller FAST & LOOSE
Will Smith is set to star in a new crime thriller titled Fast & Loose with David Leitch set to direct. Leitch is the director behind John Wick, Deadpool 2, and Hobbs & Shaw. The project is currently in the middle of a heated bidding war between several studios and streaming services.
In the film, “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.”
I like the concept and the story has an interesting little twist to it. The script for the film comes from Jon and Eric Hoeber (Meg, Red), and it was originally developed by STXfilms. There’s a lot of great talent attached to the film, and it sounds like it’s going to be a crazy, interesting, and entertaining film.
