A new supernatural thriller is on the way that will see star Will Smith begin to start Selling Time. Let’s just hope this isn’t a practice run for a stint selling “bling” late night on QVC in like 20 years.

According to The Wrap, Smith is attached to star in the film for 20th Century Fox. Smith does not have an official deal in place, but he is in the process of coming aboard. Coincidentally, he was attached to star in Selling Time several years ago before scheduling conflicts got in the way. Directors are currently circling the project. Expect an announcement soon.

Selling Time follows a man who is given a chance to relive the worst day of his life in exchange for seven years off his life expectancy.

The script was initially written by former DreamWorks Television president Dan McDermott, who will rewrite the script as part of his original deal. Several other writers have taken a crack at the project including Spike Lee and brothers Steven and Derick Martini.
