Will Smith and Michael Bay to reunite for new Netflix movie

Posted On October 8, 2024October 8, 2024

Will Smith and Michael Bay are set to reunite for a new movie landing on Netflix. The duo took the box office by storm when they released Bad Boys, and are now set to work together once again.

The director is currently in negotiations to direct a new movie titled Fast and Loose, which will be released on the streaming giant. Smith will lead the film, seeing the Bad Boys alumni team up for the project.

While information is still quite limited, Fast and Loose is the story of a man who wakes up in Tijuana without recollection of how he got there or what he’s supposed to do. While he pieces together his life and works things out, he discovers that he has been living two lives, one as a crime kingpin and another as an undercover CIA agent.

Variety state the script was written by Eric Pearson, Chris Bremner, Jon Hoeber, and Erich Hoeber. Will Smith is also named as a producer on the movie, alongside Kelly McCormick and David Leitch on behalf of 87North. Jon Mone and Ryan Shimazaki are also currently in negotiations to produce the movie on behalf of Westbrook Studios and James Lassiter.

Robert Simonds and Noah Fogelson, on behalf of STXfilms, and Barry Walkman are executive producers on the movie.

Bay and Smith first collaborated in 1995 on Bad Boys, which was Bay’s directorial debut and set him up as the narrative-driven, explosion-loving director he later cemented himself as. Bad Boys was a huge commercial success, which resulted in the creation of three sequels.

Despite controversy surrounding Smith’s actions at the Oscars when he slapped Chris Rock, he has continued to work and has become a Hollywood draw once again. He recently appeared in Bad Boys: Ride or Die and is also set to appear in the sci-fi thriller Resistor.

Furthermore, Bay is also keeping himself busy at the moment. The director is in talks about bringing the viral internet meme ‘Skibidi Toilet’ to TV and film. The filmmaker is also working on his first documentary series, Born Evil: The Serial Killer and the Savior.

Despite Smith and Bay’s two hectic schedules, it seems they will be setting time aside to work with one another once again as Fast and Loose is set to begin production. At this stage, there is no release date set for the upcoming Netflix project.
