After picking up the lead role in Focus, Deadline reports that Will Smith will play the lead role in two additional projects.
The next film that Smith has signed onto, The American Can, chronicles the true story of an ex-marine who rescued around 244 people (many of them elderly) who were left stranded after Hurricane Katrina. The American Can refers to the name of a dry building to which the hero transported the stranded. The film is based on John Keller who was seen in the documentary New Orleans My Life, My Home, My Love.
Ed Zwick (Glory, Blood Diamond) will direct Smith from a screenplay written by Adetoro Makinde (shorts: In Time, It Takes A Village) and John Lee Hancock (The Alamo, The Blindside).
According to Deadline, Focus is expected to shoot before The American Can.
As for his third project (reports Deadline)…

Chained
Written by Jennifer Lynch, based on a screenplay by Damian O’Donnell

“I shall call you… Rabbit,” is the most chilling line of any film this year. Spoken slowly but deliberately with a slight lisp and a faint Germanic accent by Vincent D’Onofrio, the voice alone places Bob somewhere between Hans Beckert and Jeffrey Dahlmer. D’Onofrio’s performance as Bob is a virtuoso effort by one of our great (albeit under-utilized) actors, delicately inhabiting a brute, like a ballerina trapped in a gorilla’s body.
“When I said I cast Vincent D’Onofrio, I was told that he was too TV… What The Fuck?! Have you not seen Full Metal Jacket?”

Bob is a taxi driver whose specially modified cab makes it easier for him to kidnap women, drive them back to his isolated rural home, rape them and kill them.
