Will Smith to reunite with I Am Legend director
Story by Jack Foley
WILL Smith is to reunite with I Am Legend director Francis Lawrence for a new film called City That Sailed.
The drama will potentially find Smith playing a father who lives on the opposite side of the ocean from his daughter, whose bond is so strong that it causes Manhattan to split off and float across the Atlantic.
Variety reports that a script is currently being re-written by Brian Koppelman and David Levien (of Ocean’s Thirteen fame).
Prior to commencing work on City That Sailed, Lawrence may also direct Water For Elephants, an adaptation of a Sara Gruen novel about a travelling circus in Depression Era America that’s being touted as a possible Reese Witherspoon vehicle.
Smith, meanwhile, is currently on location in China, where he is overseeing the production of The Karate Kid remake starring his son, Jaden.
