Will Smith Takes Action in Boston as an Iraq War Vet in Thrilling ‘Sugar Bandits’
In a gripping move that promises intense action and compelling storytelling, Will Smith has officially signed on to headline the cast of the adrenaline-pumping thriller, “Sugar Bandits.” The film, based on Chuck Hogan’s acclaimed book “Devils in Exile,” follows an Iraq War veteran and his crew of fellow vets as they take on the drug trade in the streets of Boston.
Smith’s latest endeavor, “Sugar Bandits,” comes hot on the heels of his previous blockbuster, “Emancipation.” While the latter made headlines with a record-breaking $120 million deal with Apple TV+ at Cannes, it failed to leave a significant mark upon its release. Undeterred, Smith pushes forward with an impressive lineup of upcoming projects, including the untitled fourth “Bad Boys” film currently in production and the highly anticipated sequel to the 2007 zombie hit “I Am Legend,” co-starring Michael B. Jordan.
The screenplay for “Sugar Bandits” was crafted by Chuck Hogan, known for his work on hit projects such as “The Town” and “The Strain” (co-written with Guillermo del Toro). The film is fully financed by AGC Studios, with distribution rights represented by AGC International and CAA Media Finance. The collaboration is set to make waves at the upcoming European Film Market, where buyers will get a first look at this gripping tale of justice and redemption.
Originally announced in 2013 with Universal at the helm, “Sugar Bandits” has been a long time in the making, but with Smith leading the charge, anticipation is at an all-time high.
As the European Film Market kicks off alongside the Berlin Film Festival, cinephiles and industry insiders alike are poised to witness the world premiere of “Small Things Like These,” starring Cillian Murphy.
In the realm of Hollywood action, “Sugar Bandits” stands as a testament to Will Smith’s enduring star power and commitment to delivering riveting performances. With its captivating storyline and powerhouse cast, this film is set to be a thrilling addition to Smith’s illustrious filmography.
Whether you’re a fan of action-packed narratives, a devotee of Smith’s work, or simply seeking an edge-of-your-seat experience, “Sugar Bandits” promises to deliver an unforgettable ride through the gritty streets of Boston. Get ready for a cinematic journey unlike any other, where justice takes center stage, and Will Smith commands the screen with unparalleled intensity.
