Will Smith is in talks to produce and star in a remake of Alfred Hitchcock's 1941 classic psychological thriller "Suspicion"" reports Latino Review.
The original pic, based on the Anthony Berkeley book Before The Fact writing as "Francis Iles" stars (Joan Fontaine) who marries a handsome and charming man (Cary Grant) despite her wealthy father's disapproval. Soon after their honeymoon, she begins to discover he has proven irresponsible with his investments and has been lying.When the man's good-natured friend and business partner suspiciously dies in Paris, she begins to fear that her husband is plotting to kill her for her life insurance.
The ending of the film was changed from the book's dark study of murder from an eventual victim's perspective, something the studio insisted on to further Grant's "good guy" image.
Smith would play the Grant character.RKO retains the rights to the property which may end up at Paramount Pictures
Smith is talented yes but why does Hollywood feel the need to remake Hitch's movies?
