16 Feb – Will Smith is set to return to the big screen with the action-thriller, "Sugar Bandit". As reported on THR, the movie will be based on Chuck Hogan's novel, "Devils in Exile", though no director has been attached to helm the movie for the time being.
Meanwhile, the script is penned by Hogan himself.
The original book revolves around an Iraq War veteran who teams up with other soldiers to steal from local drug dealers. The project reportedly had been set up over a decade ago at Universal Pictures. Smith was last seen in Antoine Fuqua's "Emancipation", which was released less than a year after the controversial slap at the 2022 Oscars. Aside from the project, Smith also has several other big screen entries including "Bad Boys 4" and a sequel to "I Am Legend".
