A representative for Smith did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment.
Will Smith does not have an official deal in place but he is in the process of coming aboard. Several A-list filmmakers are circling the movie, though no decision has been made yet.
Story follows a man who is given a chance to relive the worst day of his life in exchange for seven years off his life expectancy.
The script was initially written by former DreamWorks Television president Dan McDermott, who will rewrite the script as part of his original deal. Several other writers have taken a crack at the project including Spike Lee and brothers Steven and Derick Martini.
John Davis is producing the long-gestating project through his Davis Entertainment banner along with Jennifer Klein. Reached by TheWrap, Davis had no comment regarding Smith’s potential involvement.
Will Smith, who last starred in Sony’s “After Earth,” is currently producing the studio’s “Annie” remake. He’s set to star alongside Margot Robbie in WB’s grifter movie “Focus” and will soon be seen in Akiva Goldsman’s directorial debut “Winter’s Tale.”
Will Smith is represented by CAA and Overbrook Entertainment.
