With no director specified for this film yet, it wouldn’t be all that surprising if he pulled double duty to bring this new story to cinematic life, but there looks to be plenty of time for that position to be filled.
The Council is another reunion of sorts, as THR also reported that this dramatic biopic is written by Peter Landesman.
Landesman is also known as the writer/director who was also behind a previous entry in Will Smith’s resume, the NFL medical drama Concussion.
