Disturbia director set to helm Selling Time; Will Smith still circling project

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Back in October we brought you the news that Will Smith was circling a supernatural project titled SELLING TIME from 20th Century Fox and now we have word that DISTURBIA director D.J. Caruso has signed on to helm.

Deadline is reporting that Caruso will oversee a new draft of the script by Dan McDermott that is being written in hopes that Will Smith will star in the film. Though he still has not committed to starring, Smith has long been interested in playing the lead role in the thriller about…

…a man who sells chunks of his life in an attempt to relive the worst day of his life so that he can change a tragedy.

There have been numerous incarnations by various scriptwriters including Spike Lee and RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES scribes Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver. But now McDermott is going to take another pass at the script with Caruso, who also helmed EAGLE EYE and I AM NUMBER FOUR.
