Director Michael Bay has stepped away from Fast and Loose, the Will Smith-starring crime thriller that he was set to helm for Netflix, according to Deadline. The film was due to start shooting this October.
Fast and Loose was intended to be a reunion between Bay and Smith, who first worked together on 1995's Bad Boys. The plot of the new film hinges on Smith's character, an amnesiac who learns that he has been living a split life as a criminal mastermind and as an undercover agent for the CIA. According to Deadline's report, Bay wanted to dial up the action in the film, while star Smith was keen to push the comedy further.
