Will Smith's new movie, Focus, sees him teaming up with The Wolf of Wall Street's Margot Robbie, for a heist thriller that hits theaters February 27th. Count me in. The movie was written and directed by Glenn Ficarra & John Requa, the duo behind Crazy, Stupid, Love and the super underrated and underseen Jim Carrey starrer, I Love You, Philip Morris. They also wrote Bad Santa.
Will Smith stars as Nicky, a seasoned master of misdirection who becomes romantically involved with novice con artist Jess (Margot Robbie). As he’s teaching her the tricks of the trade, she gets too close for comfort and he abruptly breaks it off. Three years later, the former flame—now an accomplished femme fatale—shows up in Buenos Aires in the middle of the high stakes racecar circuit. In the midst of Nicky’s latest, very dangerous scheme, she throws his plans for a loop…and the consummate con man off his game.
