Michael Star Jackson joins Supermax
The next big action thriller is brewing, pairing the magnetic charisma of Will Smith with the familiar face of Jaafar Jackson in what promises to be a high-stakes adventure titled Supermax. The project is heading to Amazon MGM Studios and Miramax, bringing together an intriguing premise and a stellar cast.
The vision for the film is helmed by David Gordon Green, who brings his directorial expertise to the screen. This collaboration marks a significant moment for Smith, as it becomes his first non-franchise studio movie in recent years, stepping outside the familiar boundaries of his established roles. Alongside Smith, AnnaSophia Robb joins the cast, setting the stage for a compelling narrative.
The script itself is penned by David Weil and David J. Rosen, writers known for crafting intense stories in films like Hunters and Invasion. The plot centers on two FBI agents—played by Smith and Robb—who must investigate a deadly murder that has taken place within the world’s most secure prison facility.
Adding an extra layer of intrigue to the production is the involvement of Jaafar Jackson, who joins Smith in the lead. While specific details about his role are kept under wraps, Jackson brings a fresh energy to the project, capitalizing on his recent success as Uncle Michael Jackson in Antoine Fuqua’s biopic Michael, which grossed over $1 billion for Lionsgate.
Filming for Supermax is officially slated to kick off in Australia later this month. The production team behind the action is led by producers Adam Fishbach, Alex Heineman, and Andrew Rona, ensuring that this thrilling story gets realized with high production value.
