Will Smith is in talks to star in a remake of the classic western The Wild Bunch.
The Wrap reports that The Men in Black 3 star would also produce the movie with his Overbrook Entertainment company and Jerry Weintraub at Warner Bros.
The original 1969 western, which was directed by Sam Peckinpah, centred on a group of outlaws who plan one final bank robbery on the Texas-Mexico border.
The new version reportedly would see Smith play a disgraced DEA agent who assembles a crack team to take down a Mexican drug cartel.
Smith will next be seen alongside son Jaden Smith in M Night Shyamalan’s sci-fi After Earth.
