The Big Picture When you are on the roll, is there ever a reason to stop? After emerging from some gloomy clouds in the recent past, Will Smith is basking in the strong box office run of Bad Boys: Ride or Die, the fourth installment in the Bad Boys film franchise. Fresh off that success story which has seen the film gross over $100 million domestically, the Emancipation star has signed on with Sony for the studios' feature adaptation of Resistor, per Deadline.
Resistor will mark the rekindling of the working partnership between Smith and Todd Black, who is attached to the project as a producer. The pair previously collaborated on other Sony films, including Seven Pounds, The Pursuit of Happyness and the aforementioned Emancipation. Plot details for Smith's latest feature have remained under wraps. However, a look at the 2014 novel offers a pathway to where the on-screen adaptation is headed.
What they get, however, is a government-led crackdown. As him and his lab are shut down by a secret organization that suppresses technological advancements. In a dystopian society where the government abhors the advancement of technology, Grady, from the confines of imprisonment, must bond with fellow rebel scientists to uncover a deep-seated conspiracy that is bent on keeping humanity in an artificial dark age. Resistor is in development, and has begun seeking a director.
'Bad Boys: Ride or Die' - A Career-Reviving Outing For Will Smith At the 94th Academy Awards on March 27, 2022, Smith slapped host and comedian, Chris Rock. The King Richard actor was almost immediately shut out by much of Hollywood, with several projects dropping him. It's been a long road back, but finally, Bad Boys: Ride or Die served as Smith’s first theatrical release since the incident which got him banned from The Academy for a decade.
