According to Variety, Will Smith is set to star in Ridley Scott‘s untitled NFL film about the concussions that occurs with players and the effects that it has on them after their playing days are over.
Based on Jeanne Marie Laskas‘ 2009 GQ article “Game Brain”, Smith will play Dr. Bennet Omalu, a real-world forensic neuropathologist whose research has helped bring attention to the issue.
Scott is the producer of the film, while Peter Landesman is the director and screenwriter. Smith was seen in last year’s sci-fi ‘After Earth.’
