If Smith eventually reaches an agreement, the actor will produce under Overbrook Entertainment banner alongside his partner in producing 'The Karate Kid', Jerry Weintraub.


The studio is currently seeking a new writer to replace Brian Helgeland, who had been penning half of the script with the film's then-helmer Tony Scott before Scott died last year. Starring William Holden and Robert Ryan, the original film centered on a group of ageing outlaws that planned one last score on the Texas-Mexico border as the traditional American West changed around them in 1913.


The new take is said to follow a disgraced DEA agent who assembles a team to go after a Mexican drug lord and his fortune.u00a0
