Michael Bay Set to Direct ‘Fast and Loose' —Will Smith to Star

October 7, 2024 Jordan Ruimy

Michael Bay is back, and he’s set to direct Will Smith in “Fast and Loose” which is being distributed by Netflix. The project, written by Jon Hoeber, Erich Hoeber, Chris Bremner and Eric Pearson, is set to be Smith’s next film.

It turns out that Smith recently dropped out of “Sugar Bandits,” which was lined up as his next project, to hop onboard Bay’s film — “Fast and Loose” is set to reunite Smith and Bay for the first time since 2003’s “Bad Boys II.”

“Fast and Loose,” a project Smith has been developing for many years, follows a man who wakes up in Tijuana with no memories. He tries to put the pieces of his past together and quickly learns that he’s been living two lives: one as a crime kingpin and the other as an undercover CIA agent.

Bay is best known for making big-budget, high-concept action films with a relentless assault of fast cutting, over stylization, slick cinematography and lots of explosions. His last film was 2022’s “Ambulance,” and he also directed 2019’s “6 Underground” for Netflix. His most notable films include “Bad Boys,” “The Rock,” “Armageddon,” and “Transformers.”

Bay’s best film remains 2013’s “Pain and Gain,” a total guilty pleasure set in the dark underworld of Miami bodybuilding. How can you go wrong with a film that features a coked-out Dwayne Johnson robbing a bank with a golf club.

Meanwhile, riding high off the success of this year’s “Bad Boys: Ride or Die,” Smith is starting to piling up his post-slap projects. He’s already signed up for Sony’s sci-fi thriller “Resistor” and is also attached to lead a new series by “Westworld” and “Fallout” creators, Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy.
