Will Smith in Bad Boys — Will Smith couldn't make it work with Michael Bay on Fast and Loose

Here's the plot: Smith's character wakes up with no memory of who he is. Gradually, it emerges that the protagonist was a CIA agent who infiltrated the mafia and rose through the ranks. Michael Bay pushed for an epic, large-scale approach, while Will Smith wanted to focus on humor and lighter storytelling. In the end, the acclaimed filmmaker decided to walk away. The zoomboola.com editorial team wants to add that David Leitch was originally set to direct the film, but his packed schedule got in the way. As mentioned above, Netflix is now searching for a new director to take over the rudderless project.
