Leitch To Direct Smith in Fast & Loose, Sparking Studio Bidding War

Though initially only joining the project as producer, David Leitch (Hobbs & Shaw) has officially stepped into the director’s chair of action thriller Fast & Loose and two-time Oscar nominee Will Smith has signed on to star in the film, sparking a large bidding war amongst studios, according to Deadline.

Penned by Jon and Eric Hoeber (Meg, Red), the film centers on John Riley (Smith) as he wakes up in Tijuana after being left for dead and with no memory, following a string of clues to uncover his identity of his dual lives: one as a successful crime kingpin surrounded by beautiful women, expensive belongings and a lavish lifestyle and the other as an undercover CIA agent with a low salary, no family or home life whatsoever and zero paths of success. Not knowing which is his true persona, Riley must determine which life he wants to live.

An interesting twist on the Bourne Identity.

Would have been a bit more intrigued if this was Smith and Stahelski, but I'm intrigued nonetheless.
