Will Smith is attached to star in and produce City That Sailed, a fantasy/drama in development at 20th Century Fox. The project could reunite Smith with his I Am Legend director Francis Lawrence who is also attached to direct the movie.
As written by Gattaca screenwriter Andrew Niccol, and with revisions forthcoming by Ocean's Thirteen screenwriters Brian Koppelman and David Levien, City That Sailed centers on a young girl living in Manhattan and her father (Smith's character) who now lives in Europe. The bond between the father and daughter is so powerful that it somehow causes the island to break free and float across the Atlantic to reunite the pair.
Smith would produce with his Overbook Entertainment partner James Lassiter. [Full story]
