I Am Legend director Francis Lawrence and star Will Smith are reteaming for City That Sailed, a 20th Century Fox project about a father and daughter living on opposite sides of the ocean whose love is so strong that it causes Manhattan to split off and float across the Atlantic.

The film will be developed as a potential star vehicle for Smith, who is producing with Overbrook Entertainment partner James Lassiter.

Ocean's Thirteen screenwriters Brian Koppelman and David Levien will rewrite a script that originated from "Truman Show" writer Andrew Niccol.

Variety says that Lawrence is next expected to direct Water for Elephants, the Fox 2000 adaptation of the Sara Gruen novel that is being scripted by Richard LaGravanese.

His character probably got divorced and the ex got custody of the child.

It's a fantasy movie. I don't think Smith has done a fantasy movie.

I don't think so either. I Robot and I am Legend were Sci-Fi.

I love Andrew Niccol, but Fox + Will Smith can't produce anything good.

Dr. Evil · 07-09-2009, 12:11 PM

This is a major studio film, so there's a chance this makes $100 million domestically.....only because Will Smith.

Don't judge it too harshly. A lot of good movies are based along "magic realism" concepts: Being John Malkovich, The Tin Drum, All of Me, Wings of Desire, Like Water for Chocolate ...
