Academy Award-winning actor Will Smith (The Pursuit of Happyness, King Richard) has signed on to star in the upcoming action crime thriller, Sugar Bandits. Based on the Chuck Hogan book “Devils in Exile,” the thriller centers on an Iraq War veteran who teams up with a crew of fellow vets to target the drug trade in Boston. Hogan, whose writing credits include “The Town” and “The Strain” (which he co-wrote with Guillermo del Toro), penned the screenplay.

Smith’s upcoming projects include the untitled fourth “Bad Boys” film, which is still in production, alongside the upcoming sequel to Zombie hit “I Am Legend,” which is set to co-star Michael B. Jordan and see Smith reprise his role from the 2007 original (but use the alternate ending scene in the DVD in which he character lives).
