Will Smith has landed his first project following his Oscar win – and the controversy surrounding the ceremony. He’ll be producing a new adaptation of the novel Brilliance, which 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ms. Marvel director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy will be helming.

Per , the movie will be heading to Paramount Pictures with Smi😼th also eyed to take on the lead role. Based on the book of the same name by Marcus Sakey, Brillianc♈e follows a federal agent called Nick Cooper who tracks down people born with special powers called Brilliants. 

Born with exceptional powers himself, Cooper finds himself in trouble when his latest target is deemed the most dangerous man alive. The synopsis o𒉰f the novel teases that to ca♏tch him, Cooper will have to betray his own kind and risk everything he holds dear.

Director Obaid-Chinoy helmed two episodes of Ms. Marvel on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Disney Plus (you can read 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:our chat with her about them here) but is best known for her Oscar-winning documentary shorts Saving Face and A Gi♏rl in the River, The Price of Forgiveness.

Smith has been the subject of controversy following an incident at the 2022 Oscars where he 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:slapped host Chris Rock on stage after the comedian made a joke about his wife. The actor has since apologized, releasing a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:five-minute apology video in July where he said he "fogged out" after the assault.
