Will Smith's wife signs The Human Contract
Jada Pinkett-Smith isn't getting the movie roles, so she decides to write and direct her own feature!
Jada Pinkett Smith has suffered a few barren few years in the movie industry after the height of her career back in 2004. After a big role in the last two Matrix movies and then a memorable turn in Collateral, she has since only starred in Reign Over Me which despite good reviews, didn't make much of an impact to do anything for her career. Well she voiced a character in Madagscar too, but there's so many animated movies these days that kudos goes to you if you remembered her in that. So what does Smith decide to do when she isn't getting the roles?. Well she writers her own feature which she will for Overbrook Entertainment titled The Human Contract. The flick follows Julian Wright, a mega-successful businessman who hides a secret from the rest of the world which plays on his conscious and tears his soul apart everyday. One day he meets a guy named Michael Reed, a complete stranger who convinces him to forget the corporate life and take up a more bohemian lifestyle. Sounds like the complete opposite to The Pursuit of Happyness last year, where the premise was the other way around! Will Jada's hubby Will Smith end up with the lead role? Apparently not according to FilmJerk but he will be lending a helpful hand behind the scenes during the production which begins shooting in November in L.A. source - coming soon
