Will this be a brilliant move?
TheWrap is reporting that actor Will Smith is in early talks to star in “Brilliance,†a potential tentpole project for Legendary Pictures and Universal Pictures.
The film is adapted from a script by David Koepp off of the Marcus Sakey novel.
The sci-fi story is about a world in which one percent of the people called “brilliants†having special abilities. Nick Cooper, a federal agent in the novel, has a special gift that assists him at hunting terrorists. And his next target is another brilliant who is intending to provoke a civil war.
Julius Onah (“God Particleâ€) will helm the project.
Smith needs a nice bounce from last year’s box office bomb “After Earth†and passing up on the “Independence Day†sequel.
