\n\tEXCLUSIVE: <\/strong>Will Smith<\/a> looks to have found his first co-star for his next film as sources tell Deadline I Play Rocky star AnnaSophia Robb<\/a> is set to join Smith in the Amazon MGM Studios and Miramax thriller Supermax<\/a>. David Gordon Green is directing the pic.<\/p>\n

\n\tDeadline reported in May that Amazon MGM Studios is closing a deal for worldwide distribution rights for the Miramax film, which will be available in more than 240 countries and territories on Prime Video.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Picture Company partners Andrew Rona & Alex Heineman will produce alongside Will Smith and Adam Fishbach for Smith\u2019s Westbrook. The film is written by David Weil and David J. Rosen, known for their work on the TV series Hunters and Invasion. CAA Media Finance brokered the deal between Amazon and Miramax.<\/p>\n

\n\tWeil and Rosen will also executive produce, alongside associate producer Natalie Laine Williams. Miramax CEO Jonathan Glickman, President of Film Alexandra Loewy, COO Thom Zadra, and SVP Spencer Ela will executive produce.<\/p>\n

\n\tRobb is set to play Smith\u2019s young partner in the film as the two detectives enter the depths of a Supermax prison to solve a mysterious murder. <\/p>\n

\n\tNext up for the young star is a leading role in Amazon MGM\u2019s highly anticipated Peter Farrelly-directed biographical drama I Play Rocky. The movie follows the behind-the-scenes true story of the production of the seminal 1976 classic Rocky. Following the release of the trailer last week, the film is already gaining award season buzz and is set to open this year\u2019s Toronto Film Festival.<\/p>\n

\n\tRobb is also set to join the recurring cast of hit Prime Video comedy Overcompensating for its second season. The actress is coming off rave reviews for her turn in the Emmy award-winning hit Netflix film Rebel Ridge, opposite Aaron Pierre, with other recent credits including Peacock\u2019s Dr. Death and Hulu\u2019s Little Fires Everywhere. Robb initially broke out with various roles across film & television \u2013 including Disney\u2019s Bridge to Terabithia, the Bethany Hamilton biopic Soul Surfer and the Sex & the City prequel The Carrie Diaries, where she took on the iconic titular role.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs previously stated, there is a lot of connective tissue on this particular project, The Picture Company just wrapped production on Supermax co-writer Weil\u2019s feature directorial debut, the Amazon MGM Studios\u2019 thriller Tyrant, starring Charlize Theron, Julia Garner and Demi Moore. Supermax also reunites Green with co-writer Rosen, who created the Apple TV series Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, which Green directed and executive-produced.<\/p>\n

\n\tRobb is represented by CAA and Untitled Entertainment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EXCLUSIVE: Will Smith looks to have found his first co-star for his next film as sources tell Deadline…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":950230,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[33],"tags":[382576,185,171,324796,67,132,68,5956],"class_list":["post-950229","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-annasophia-robb","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-supermax","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us","tag-will-smith"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116959579272825680","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/950229","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=950229"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/950229\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/950230"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=950229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=950229"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=950229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
