Will Smith’s new movie

Will Smith is set to produce and star in a new movie about the National Football League, sources told Variety.

The untitled drama will tell the true story of Dr. Bennet Omalu, the forensic pathologist who was the first to discover and publish findings of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in NFL players, and the battle he waged against the league to get them to take brain injuries seriously.

Smith will produce the film with his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, through their production company Overbrook Entertainment. The script is being written by Peter Landesman, who also wrote and directed “Concussion,” another film about CTE in the NFL starring Will Smith.

About the NFL

Will Smith’s new movie, “Concussion,” is about the NFL. The film is based on a true story about Dr. Bennet Omalu, a Nigerian immigrant who discovered a degenerative brain disease in former NFL players. The disease, now known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), can only be diagnosed posthumously.

Smith’s career

Will Smith is an American actor, producer, and rapper. He has enjoyed success in television, film, and music. In April 2007, Newsweek called him the most powerful actor in Hollywood. Smith has been nominated for five Golden Globe Awards and two Academy Awards, and has won four Grammy Awards.

In the late 1980s, Smith achieved modest fame as a rapper under the name The Fresh Prince. In 1990, his popularity increased dramatically when he starred in the popular television series The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The show ran for six seasons (1990–96) on NBC and has been syndicated consistently on television networks around the world since then.

The NFL’s reaction

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Will Smith is in talks to star in a new movie about the National Football League. The film will reportedly focus on the league’s concussion crisis, and it’s not yet clear if it will be a drama or a comedy.

The NFL has not yet commented on the news, but it’s possible that they are not too thrilled about the prospect of a film that could highlight some of the darker aspects of the game. However, it’s also possible that they see this as an opportunity to show how they are working to make the game safer for all players.
