Will Smith Signs Multi Picture Deal with Paramount


Two years ago actor Will Smith received a 10-year ban from the Academy Awards after slapping awards show host, comedian Chris Rock, during the live broadcast for joking about his wife, actress Jada Pinkett-Smith [click here if you missed that].

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

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.

If this goes directly to streaming, I don't see how he can lose. The movie theatre, that's another story. Will folks pay top dollar for him at the movies. It will be a waste of time if it's really good and he want be able to get another Oscar. LOLO

He didn't make Will Smith money on this deal.

Good for Will. Hollywood isn't giving out a whole bunch of deals anymore. Especially if you're viewed as a star whose shine has faded.
Hopefully he does something to make sure that more people that look like him are hired because Westbrook tends to staff mostly white & Latino folks.
