Will Smith has been very picky about what movies he’ll star in for the last few years, however he’s got a new one coming up called Focus, where he turns con man who take a younger grafter under his wing.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘Will Smith stars as Nicky, a seasoned master of misdirection who becomes romantically involved with novice con artist Jess (Margot Robbie). As hes teaching her the tricks of the trade, she gets too close for comfort and he abruptly breaks it off. Three years later, the former flamenow an accomplished femme fataleshows up in Buenos Aires in the middle of the high-stakes racecar circuit. In the midst of Nickys latest, very dangerous scheme, she throws his plans for a loop and the consummate con man off his game.’
It’s something a bit different for Will, whose previously been known to turn down roles if his character wasn’t an out-and-out good guy, and that certainly doesn’t seem to be the case here. The movie is due out early 2015.
