With Focus (read the full review here) due to hit screens on Febuary 27th, Will Smith looks to be diving back into leading-man territory, and has just become attached to a brand new script known as Bounty; which would see the usual good-guy taking on the role of a more conflicted hero.
Provided he does end up with the role he’s now attached to, Smith is set to star as a Boston man wrongly accused of murder, who has to escape from prison in order to go on a quest to prove his innocence; something which could prove difficult, given the victim’s widow is willing to pay $10 million to see him recaptured.
