Will Smith To Star In Director David Leitch’s ‘Fast & Loose’

Deadline is reporting that Will Smith is teaming with director David Leitch (“Deadpool 2” and “Hobbs & Shaw”) on the new drama “Fast & Loose.”

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.

Originally developed by STXfilms with “The Meg” and “RED” scribes Jon and Eric Hoeber attached, Leitch was initially only aboard as producer.

Smith, Leitch, Kelly McCormick, Jon Mone and James Lassiter are producing.
