Will Smith and Tom Holland are set to star in the new animated feature “Spies in Disguise,” a feature adaptation of the short “Pigeon: Impossible” at Fox Animation, Blue Sky and Chernin Entertainment.
The project is based on “Pigeon: Impossible,” a 2009 original animated short film by Lucas Martell that followed a secret agent who nearly triggers a global conflict when a pigeon gets stuck in a government-issued nuclear briefcase.
Smith plays Lance Sterling, the world’s most cool, charming and super-skilled spy Holland will play Walter, a great mind but not a great socializer, who is the scientific genius who invents the gadgets Lance uses on his missions. When events take an unexpected turn, Walter and Lance suddenly have to rely on each other to work as a team, with the whole world in peril.
Nick Bruno, who previously worked on “Epic” and “The Peanuts Movie,” and Troy Quane, who worked on “Ice Age: Collision Course” and the upcoming “Ferdinand,” will co-direct the film.
Smith’s upcoming films include “Bright,” a sci-fi adventure for Netflix, and “Aladdin,” a live action version of the Disney classic that will play the Genie.
Holland, last seen as in Spider-Man in “Captain America: Civil War” and “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” will next appear in “Chaos Walking,” a dystopian sci-fi adventure, and has a supporting role in “The Current War,” a historical drama.
“Spies in Disguise” is set for January 18th 2019.
