Will Smith has signed on to star in the upcoming action thriller "Supermax" directed by David Gordon Green ("Halloween" reboot sequel trilogy) from a script by David Weil & David J. Rosen ("Hunters", "Invasion"). Amazon MGM Studios acquired the film in a deal estimated at around $70 million. The film will only be released via streaming, not theatrically. Production is set to begin mid-August.

The film's plot follows two FBI agents investigating a murder in the world's most secure prison. Additional casting is underway. Andrew Rona and Alex Heineman are producing alongside Smith and Adam Fishbach via Westbrook. CAA Media Finance brokered the deal.

Weil 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 are attached as executive producers.

Smith's company Westbrook posted the following message on Instagram: "Huge announcement today. We are thrilled to be teaming up with director David Gordon Green & our partners at @amazonmgmstudios @miramax and The Picture company to bring this incredible film to life"
