Despite that, Will's Westbrook production company just signed a multi picture deal with Paramount Pictures...

From The Wrap

Paramount Pictures has signed a multi-picture deal with Will Smith and his entertainment venture company Westbrook, with two films set to star the Oscar winner already lined up.

One of the projects Smith is set to star in is “Sugar Bandits,” based on the novel “Devils in Exile” by Chuck Hogan which follows an Iraq War veteran who finds a new purpose by joining a group of vigilantes that go after drug rings and steal their money, only for things to quickly go south.

The other project, called “Rabbit Hole,” is currently under wraps but has “Dune” co-writer Jon Spaihts attached to the script.
