Will Smith will produce with Kerry Washington co-starring
Kerry Washington has booked the female lead in the film, which will be produced by Smith and James Lassiter's Overbrook Entertainment.
The David Loughery-scripted film focuses on an interracial couple that moves into a lovely new house only to swiftly run afoul of their neighbor, a racist LAPD officer. The Variety story doesn't make it clear which roles the actors will be playing, but since Washington and Jackson would have difficulties playing an interracial couple, he's presumably playing the bigoted cop.
The trade paper says the third lead role has yet to be cast and a director is still being secured.
The film will begin shooting for Screen Gems in May.
Jackson was most recently seen by a few people in a little film called "Snakes on a Plane" and by even fewer in "Home of the Brave." His latest project, "Black Snake Moan," is playing at Sundance and will open wider in late February.
Credits for Washington include "Fantastic Four" and "Ray" on the small screen on "Boston Legal."
